The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
