The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
