The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
