The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 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 no trifle. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
