The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
