The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
