The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the shining star -- 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and I am devising guile. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
