The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 There is no soul but has a protector over it. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He was created of spurting water 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 on the Day when consciences are examined, 9 (Man) will have no power, and no helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 And it is not amusement. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
