The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
