The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is not amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
