The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?- 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He was created from spurting fluid, 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Most surely He is able to return him (to life). 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 and the earth, bursting forth with plants! 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
