The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven and the night-comer 1 what do you know what the night-visitor is? 2 It is the piercing star - 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 So let man observe from what he was created. 5 He was created from a fluid, ejected, 6 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. 7 God has all power to resurrect him. 8 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, 9 and he shall have no strength, no helper. 10 By the heavens, ever-revolving, 11 And [by] the earth which cracks open, 12 Verily! This (the Quran) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict legal laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil). 13 And it is no joke. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 And I secretly plan. 16 Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while. 17
