The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 The piercing star! 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 and so am I: 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
