The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.) 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
