The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 The piercing star! 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
