The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 and by the earth ever bursting 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 It is no pleasantry. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
