The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 So let man consider of what he is created: 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 They are cunningly devising, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
