The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
