The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 And what will make you know what the comer by night is? 2 (It is) the star of piercing brightness; 3 [for] no human being has been left unguarded. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He is created of water pouring forth, 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare, 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 By the Firmament which returns (in its round), 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 They are hatching up a plot, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
