The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 Do you know what al-tariq is? 2 The piercing star! 3 There is no living being but there is a protector over it. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead). 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 Then will he have no might nor any helper. 10 So I call to witness the rain-producing sky, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 Indeed, they are planning a plan, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
