The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 The piercing star! 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 And it is no joke. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
