The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
