The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
