The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 this is indeed a Decisive Word, 13 not a flippant jest. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
