The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 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
