The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which opens up (with verdure), 12 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, 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 and I am devising guile. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
