The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile. 17
