The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 And it is no joke. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
