The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
