The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
