The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star -- 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 Then man will have no power or any helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
