The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 and I am devising guile. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
