The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
