The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the shining star -- 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth). 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
