The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star); 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 and so am I: 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
