The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and al-tariq. 1 And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man consider of what he was created; 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 and is not to be taken lightly. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
