The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
