The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
