The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
