The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
