The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness: 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 Now let man but think from what he is created! 5 He was created of spurting water 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 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 secrets will be put on trial, 9 he shall have no power, and no helper. 10 By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Verily, it is a discourse distinguishing. 13 not a flippant jest. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I (too) am planning a plan. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
