The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 it is not a jest. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
