The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 The piercing star! 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider from what he is created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And the earth splitting (with plants); 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
