The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And no trifle. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
