The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 it is no merriment. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
