The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And no trifle. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
