The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 he was created of gushing water 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
