The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By heaven and the night-star! 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
