The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created of spurting water 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 And no trifle. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
