The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 it is not a jest. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
