The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 not a flippant jest. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
