The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star); 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 The piercing star! 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 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 it is no joke. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
