The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 The piercing star! 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
