The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky and the night comer - 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 was created of a gushing fluid, 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 and by the earth bursting with vegetation; 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile. 17
