The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 God has certainly power to bring him back from the dead. 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And no trifle. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
