The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 and so am I: 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
