The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
