The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 The piercing star! 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 not a flippant jest. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
