The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the piercing star. 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth). 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
