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 have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And it is no joke. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
