The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 The piercing star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
