The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is no joke. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
