The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
