The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 and I am devising guile. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
