The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
