The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 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 look - from what is he created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 it is not a jest. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
