The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 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 to be taken lightly. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and so am I: 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
