The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 that issues from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 Then he shall have no power nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 And it is no joke. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 and I too am devising a guile. 16 So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. 17
