The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 he was created of gushing water 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 and is no idle tale. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
