The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 And have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 when he will be helpless, with no supporter. 10 By the sky with its returning rain, 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 And is not a matter of amusement. 14 Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth]; 15 And I (too) will make a scheme. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
