The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
