The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
