The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
