The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 it is not a jest. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
