The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
