The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is no joke. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
