The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
