The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is no joke. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
