The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 And no trifle. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 and I am devising guile. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
