The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 it is not a jest. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
