The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.) 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And no trifle. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
