The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 not a flippant jest. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
