The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 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 man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 he shall have no power, and no 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 They are hatching up a plot, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. 17
