The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
