The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
