The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
