The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 What could let you know what the nightly comer is! 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And no trifle. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
