The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 The piercing star! 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
