The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that distinguishes between truth and falsehood, 13 And no trifle. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 and I am devising guile. 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
