The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky and the night comer - 1 And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? 2 The piercing star! 3 No human soul but hath a guardian over it. 4 LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created: 5 He was created from ejaculated water 6 Coming from between the back and the ribs. 7 Surely He is able to bring him back 8 On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test 9 Then will (man) have no power, nor any helper. 10 Consider the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 It is surely a decisive utterance; 13 it is no merriment. 14 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme, 15 and so am I: 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
