The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and so am I: 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
