The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Indeed Allah is Able to return him. 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 And it is no joke. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
