The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 It is the piercing star - 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
