The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are devising guile, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
