The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By heaven and the night-star! 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
