The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
