Surah At Tariq Tafseer And Meaning In English

Allah says: By the heaven and that which appears by night, then He explains what that which appears by night.

At-tariq is the star of piercing brightness that is, the star that shines brightly, whose light pierces the heavens until it is seen on earth.

The correct view is that it is a generic term which refers to all stars of piercing brightness.

It was also suggested that it refers to Saturn, whose light pierces the seven heavens so that we see it.

It is called tariq because it appears at night (yatruq).

What is attested to by this oath is: for every soul there is a keeper watching it and recording its deeds, both righteous and otherwise, and that soul will be requited for the deeds that are recorded against it.

Let man consider that from which he was created that is, let him reflect upon his creation and his origin, for he is created from an ejected fluid namely semen, originating from between the backbone and the ribs.

It may be that it comes from between the backbone of the man and the ribs of the woman, or it may be that what is meant is gushing semen, which comes from the man, and the place from which it emerges is between the backbone and the ribs of the man, and this may be the most correct interpretation, because Allah describes it as an ejected fluid, and what is felt and seen to be ejected is the semen of the man.

Similarly, the word tara ‘ib (translated here as ribs may be used with regard to men. And Allah knows best.

The One Who created man from an ejected fluid that emerges from this place is able to recreate him in the hereafter and resurrect him for the requital.

On the day when people’s inner secrets will be examined that is, when what is hidden in people’s hearts of good or evil will be disclosed and made manifest on their faces.

In this world many matters are concealed and not visible or known to people, but on the Day of Resurrection the righteousness of the righteous and the evil of the evildoers will be made manifest, and all matters will be laid open.

Then man will have no power to help himself and defend himself (nor anyone to help him) or support him.

This is an oath concerning people when they do deeds and at the time of their requital.

By the sky that returns and by the earth that cracks open [with the growth of plants] that is, the sky brings back rain every year, and the earth cracks open for plants to grow on which people and livestock live.

And the heaven again brings down divine decrees at all times; and the earth will split open for the dead on the Day of Resurrection.

Verily it [the Qur’an] is a decisive word that is, it contains clear and plain truth ((and is not to be taken lightly that is, it is a serious matter and is not a joke.

It is the decisive word that settles issues between different factions and views, and disputes may be resolved through it.

Surely they namely those who reject the Messenger and the Qur’an are plotting and planning to defeat the truth and support falsehood but I too am planning to cause the truth to prevail, even if the disbelievers hate it, and to ward off what they have brought of falsehood, so that it may be known who will prevail, for humans are too weak and insignificant to be able to resist the Most Strong, All- Knowing and His plans.

So bear with the disbelievers; bear with them for a little while that is, for a short time, for they will come to know their fate when the punishment descends upon them.

This is the end of the commentary on Soorat at-Tariq. All praise and thanks are for Allah, and may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions abundantly until the Day of Judgement.
