The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
