The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
