The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
