The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the shining star -- 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 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while. 17
