The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By heaven and the night-star! 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 - The piercing Star! 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
