The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 It is the shining star -- 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 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 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
