The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On a Day whereon secrets shall be out. 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
