Introduction

The Surah taken its name from the word at-tariq in its first verse.

By the sky and the night comer

١

And what can make you know what is the night comer?

٢

It is the piercing star

٣

There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

٤

So let man observe from what he was created.

٥

He was created from a fluid, ejected,

٦

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

٧

Indeed, He [i.e., Allāh], to return him [to life], is Able.

٨

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

٩

Then he [i.e., man] will have no power or any helper.

١٠

By the sky which sends back

١١

And [by] the earth which splits,

١٢

Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a decisive statement,

١٣

And it is not amusement.

١٤

Indeed, they are planning a plan,

١٥

But I am planning a plan.

١٦

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
