The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while. 17
