The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
