The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the piercing star - 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 and is no idle tale. 14 They are devising guile, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
