The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 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 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 this is indeed a Decisive Word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
