The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
