The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 And what can make you know what is the night comer? 2 - The piercing Star! 3 There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds). 4 Let the human reflect of what he is created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Verily He is Able to restore him, 8 upon the day when the secrets are tried, 9 He shall have neither strength nor helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by the earth cracking open with new growth. 12 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement, 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 They are devising a guile, 15 but I too plan against them. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
