The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
