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 have you understood what the nightly arriver is? 2 It is the piercing star. 3 There is not a soul that does not have a guardian over it. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He is created from a water gushing forth. 6 That issued from between the loins and ribs. 7 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. 8 The day all secrets are examined 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil): 13 not a flippant jest. 14 Surely they will make a scheme, 15 And I plot a plot (against them). 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
