The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky and the night comer - 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
