The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 and I am devising guile. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
