The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 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 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
