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 - The piercing Star! 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 not a flippant jest. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
