The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
