The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
