The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky and the night comer - 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 not a flippant jest. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
