The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By heaven and the night-star! 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 That is issued from between the backs and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 it is not a jest. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
