The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 That this is a decisive word 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
