The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 The piercing star! 3 For every soul there is a watcher. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid 6 That issueth from between the loins and the breast-bones. 7 He certainly has the power to bring him back to life. 8 On the Day when secrets are disclosed, 9 [man] will have no power, and no helper. 10 By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again. 11 And by the earth which splitteth, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 but I shall bring all their scheming to nought. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
