The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 it is no merriment. 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
