The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 And it is no joke. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
