The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
