The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
