The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 it is not a jest. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
