The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created from ejaculated water 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 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 this is indeed a Decisive Word, 13 it is no merriment. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
