The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.) 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
