The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
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 soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And no trifle. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
