The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star); 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
