The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
