The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
