The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 this is indeed a Decisive Word, 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
