The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star); 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 And it is no joke. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
