The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 What could let you know what the nightly comer is! 2 It is the shining star -- 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 he was created of gushing water 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
