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 shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
