The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 it is not a jest. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
