The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 The piercing star! 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 it is no merriment. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
