The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star); 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
