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 star of piercing brightness; 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
