The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created of spurting water 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
