The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
