The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 The piercing star! 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
