The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
