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 will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while. 17
