The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 It is not a thing for amusement. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 but I too plan against them. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
