The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness -- 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 So let man look - from what is he created. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 and [man] will have neither strength nor helper! 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Indeed the Qur’an is a decisive Word. 13 And no trifle. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
