The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
