The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By heaven of the returning rain, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 not a flippant jest. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
