The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
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 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 not a flippant jest. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
