The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 and so am I: 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
