The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star); 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the piercing star. 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created of spurting water 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- 12 this is indeed a Decisive Word, 13 And it is no joke. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
