The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 The piercing star! 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And no trifle. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
