The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
