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
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
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
١٥
But I am planning a plan.
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
