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 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 And no trifle. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
