The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 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 jest. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
