The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 The piercing star! 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
