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 have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 it is not a jest. 14 They are devising guile, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
