The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By heaven and the night-star! 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He was created of spurting water 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
