The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 What could let you know what the nightly comer is! 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 he was created of gushing water 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
