The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 which comes out of the loins and ribs. 7 Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life] 8 The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth). 9 he will have no power, nor anyone to help him. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 the Quran is the final word, 13 it is no merriment. 14 Indeed the disbelievers carry out their evil schemes. 15 and so am I: 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
