The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
