The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
