The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
