The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
