The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 not a flippant jest. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
