The Comet (Al-Taareq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 it is not a jest. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 Therefore give them some respite – give them some time. 17
