The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 it is no merriment. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
