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 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
