The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And no trifle. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
