The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 Let man reflect on what he was created from. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 and the earth, bursting forth with 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 it is not amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
