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 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)! 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 it is no merriment. 14 They are cunningly devising, 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
