The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth). 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
