The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is no joke. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
