The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;- 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 emanating from between the loins and the ribs. 7 Surely, He is Able to bring him back, 8 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 and the replenishing earth, 12 That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word 13 And it is not amusement. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 and so am I: 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
