The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth). 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
