The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 The piercing star! 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
