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 have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He was created of spurting water 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 and I am devising guile. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
