The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
