The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is no joke. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
