The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 The piercing star! 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 The Day when secrets will be put on trial, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 it is not a jest. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
