The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heavens and that which comes in the night -- 1 How will you comprehend what the night star is? 2 It is the shining star -- 3 Over every soul there is a watcher. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) 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
