The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
