The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created of spurting water 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 it is not a jest. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
