The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
