The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, and the night-visitor, 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the rotating heavens 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that distinguishes between truth and falsehood, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
