The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 And no trifle. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
