The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
