The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By heaven and the night-star! 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
