The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
