The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 And what shall make thee know that which the night-comer is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
