The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is no joke. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
