The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 it is no merriment. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
