The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
