The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 it is not a jest. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
