The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.) 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
