The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
