The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And it is no joke. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
