The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is no joke. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
