The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 What could let you know what the nightly comer is! 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
