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 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth). 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
