The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, 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 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is no joke. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 and so am I: 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
