The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 it is not a jest. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
