The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 And it is not amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and I am devising guile. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
