The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
