The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth). 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
