The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
