The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most 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 of piercing brightness;- 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
