The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky and the night comer - 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.) 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
