The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
