Learn Sūrat aṭ-Ṭāriq
Read it below, then recite it aloud and let Qiraa correct you word by word.
What Sūrat aṭ-Ṭāriq is about
Sūrat aṭ-Ṭāriq has 17 āyāt in the thirtieth juzʼ. It opens with an oath by the sky and the night-comer, which gives the sūrah its name; the night-comer is the piercing star (86:1–3). Over every soul there is a guardian (86:4).
The sūrah asks the human to look at what he was created from: a gushing fluid, coming from between the backbone and the ribs (86:5–7). Allah is able to bring him back, on the Day secrets are laid bare (86:8–9). It swears by the sky that returns rain and the earth that splits open that the Qurʼān is a decisive word, not a joke (86:11–14).
- Āyāt 1–10
Over every soul a guardian
By the sky and the night-comer, the piercing star, over every soul there is a guardian. Let the human look at what he was created from: a gushing fluid from between the backbone and the ribs. Allah can bring him back, on the Day secrets are laid bare and he has no strength or helper.
- Āyāt 11–17
A decisive word
By the sky that returns and the earth that splits, the Qurʼān is a decisive word, not a joke (86:13–14). The deniers are plotting, and Allah is planning too. So give them time; leave them a little while (86:17).
