The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 and so am I: 16 So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while. 17
