The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 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 Word. 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
