The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 this is indeed a Decisive Word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
