The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 The piercing star! 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
