The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- 12 BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that distinguishes between truth and falsehood, 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 and I am devising guile. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
