The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
