The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 and I am devising guile. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
