The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
