The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
