The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 - The piercing Star! 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 observe from what he was created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that distinguishes between truth and falsehood, 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
