The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman]. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that distinguishes between truth and falsehood, 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 But I am planning a plan. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
