The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 Created from a gushing fluid. 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 and is no idle tale. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 So respite thou the infidels - respite them gently, 17
