(At-Târiq)
[86:1]
By the heaven and the night-visitor! (al-t
ā
riq actually denotes any thing that comes by night, including stars, 
because they come out at night).
[86:2]
And what will tell you what the night-visitor is? (m
ā
’l-t
ā
riq is a subject and predicate, standing as the second 
object of [the verb] adr
ā
, ‘tell’; and what comes after the first m
ā
, ‘what’, is the predicate thereof [of this 
first m
ā
]) — this [statement] emphasises the magnificence of the ‘night-visitor’, which is explained in what 
follows. It is: 
[86:3]
The piercing, the brilliant, because of its piercing the darkness with its light, star!, meaning [the 
constellation] Pleiades; or [it refers to] all stars (the response to the oath [follows]): 
[86:4]
Over every soul there is a keeper (if read la-m
ā
, then m
ā
is extra, and in, is softened in place of the 
hardened form with its subject omitted, that is to say, innahu; the l
ā
m is [a particle] for separation; if read 
lamm
ā
, then in is for negation and lamm
ā
means ill
ā
, ‘except that’) — the watcher is an angel that keeps a 
record of its deeds, both the good and the evil.
[86:5]
So let man consider, by way of reflection, from what he was created, from what thing: 
[86:6]
the response is: He was created from a gushing fluid, gushing forth from the man and the woman into the 
womb, 
[86:7]
issuing from between the loins, of the man, and the breast-bones, of the woman.

Assuredly He, exalted be He, is able to bring him back, to resurrect man after his death; and so when he 
reflects on his origins, he will realise that the One who was able to do this is also able to resurrect him, 
[86:9]
on the day when [all] secrets, the hidden convictions and intentions of the hearts, are inspected, [when] 
they are examined and revealed, 
[86:10]
whereat he, the one who denies resurrection, will have neither strength, to defend himself against 
chastisement, nor any helper, to avert it from him. 
[86:11]
By the heaven of returns, [of] the rain that returns time and again, 
[86:12]
and [by] the earth of fissures, splitting with [the growth of] vegetation, 
[86:13]
assuredly it, the Qur’
ā
n, is a decisive word, distinguishing between truth and falsehood, 
[86:14]
and it is not a jest, frivolity or falsehood. 
[86:15]
Indeed they, that is, the disbelievers, are devising a plot, they are preparing plots against the Prophet (s), 
[86:16]
and I [too] am devising a plot, drawing them by degrees [towards destruction] from whence they know not. 
[86:17]
So respite, O Muhammad (s), the disbelievers; grant them respite ([reiterated as] an emphasis, one 
enhanced by the use of a different form [mahhil, amhil]), that is to say, put them off, for a little (ruwayd
ā
is 
a verbal noun emphasising the import of the operator, and is the diminutive form of r
ū
d or irwad, with 
shortening of final consonant [ruwaydan, ruwayd
ā
]). Surely enough God, exalted be He, seized them at Badr 
and abrogated [the dispensation of] ‘granting respite’ by the ‘sword’ verse, in other words, by the command 
to fight and struggle.
