The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the piercing star - 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 And no trifle. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
