The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
