The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 And it is no joke. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
