The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 it is no merriment. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and I am devising guile. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
