The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 And no trifle. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
