The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created of spurting water 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 made public, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 and so am I: 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
