The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 it is no merriment. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 and so am I: 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
