The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 he was created of gushing water 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 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 it is not a jest. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
