The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven and the Morning Star 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth). 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And it is not a thing for amusement. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
