The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for a while. 17
