The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
