The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He was created of a gushing fluid, 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 I swear by the raingiving heavens, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 and is no idle tale. 14 They are devising guile, 15 And I am plotting a plot. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
