Surah al-Taariq (Surah 86: Revelation Order 36)

Oath of God

  • (I swear) By the heaven and Al-Taariq (86:1). And what have you made know what Al-Taariq is? (86:2). The star, the bright (86:3).
  • Note: This is a single statement oath of God referring to the universe and the bright star, while  He has spelled out the word, al-taariq for us to be the bright star what He has referred in His oath not to have any doubt about it.

Reproduction of humans and their return to their Lord

  • There is not a soul except a protector over it (86:4). So let see the human being from what he has been created (86:5). He has been created from a drop of ejection (5:6). It comes from between the spine and the ribs (86:7). Indeed, He is Able on his return (86:8). A day the secrets will be opened (86:9). Then for him there is no power, nor is there a helper (86:10).
  • Note: By taking oath God has affirmed that how we have been created while there is a day we have to return to our Lord when He will expose all secrets and we will have no helpers.

Oath of God  

  • By the sky that returns (water) (86:11). And the earth that cracks (to germinate seeds) (86:12). This is a valuable statement (86:13). This is not being an amusement (86:14).
  • Note: This is an oath of God referring to (1) the sky that returns rain and (2) the earth that cracks to germinate seeds, which should not be taken lightly.

The disbelievers to be given a short respite

  • Indeed, they plot a plot (86:15). And I plan a plan (86:16). So you shall give the disbelievers a respite and shall give them a short respite (86:17).
  • Note: By taking oath God has affirmed that the disbelievers plot against the believers while He also plans against them and wants the believers to give them a short respite.

Surah al-taariq (Surah 86: The Bright Star) is an earlier revelation and a short surah consisting of 2 different oaths of God and 17 simple verses, which can be reviewed reflecting on the universe and the bright star that by taking oath God has affirmed that how we have been created and on a day we have to return to our Lord when He will expose all secrets and we will have no helpers on that day as well as reflecting on the sky that returns water and the earth that cracks to germinate seeds that by taking oath He has affirmed that the disbelievers plot against the believers while God also plans and wants the believers to give them a short respite as the terrible consequences are awaiting them.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.
