The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 That over each soul there is a guardian. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
