The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
