The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And no trifle. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
