The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
