The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
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 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 it is not a jest. 14 They are devising guile, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
