The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 it is not a jest. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 but I too plan against them. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
