The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is no joke. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 and I am devising guile. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
