The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
