The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 The piercing star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
