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 will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs: 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 and is no idle tale. 14 Verily they are plotting a plot. 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
