The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
