The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star); 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.) 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
