The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 And no trifle. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
