The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, 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 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
