The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
