The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 The very brightly shining star! 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and so am I: 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
