The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky, and by the nightly comer! 1 and what could make you know what it is that comes in the night? 2 (It is) the piercing star. 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So let man consider of what he was created. 5 He is created from a gushing fluid 6 issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 On the day when all secrets will be made public, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By oath of the sky from which comes down the rain. 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 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 and it is certainly not a jest. 14 Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
