The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is no joke. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
