The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star); 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 The piercing star! 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 it is no merriment. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 and so am I: 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
