The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
