The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 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 sky which returns [rain] 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
