The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 By the rotating heavens 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And no trifle. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 and so am I: 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
