The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
