The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the piercing 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 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 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 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
