The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 this is indeed a Decisive Word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
