The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star); 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
