The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And no trifle. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
