The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
