The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 The star of piercing brightness; 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man see from what he is created! 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
