The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the sky and the night comer - 1 What could let you know what the nightly comer is! 2 It is the star shining brightly. 3 No soul is there but hath over it a watcher. 4 So man must consider from what he has been created. 5 he has been created out of a seminal fluid 6 issuing from between the backbone and the breastbone: 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 So man will neither have any strength nor any aide. 10 By the sky which returns [rain] 11 And by oath of the earth which flourishes with it. 12 this is indeed a Decisive Word, 13 not a flippant jest. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 And I am planning a scheme. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
