The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 What could let you know what the nightly comer is! 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.) 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And no trifle. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 and so am I: 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
