The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
