at-Tariq

At-Tāriq ( Arabic الطارق aṭ-Ṭāriq 'Who comes  in at night'; 'The Night Star') is the 86th sura of the Koran , it contains 17 verses . The sura is one of the early parts of the Qur'an that wasrevealedin Mecca (610–615). Their title refers to the first verse.

The first, earlier part comprises the introductory ten verses. The question in verse 2 what the eponymous Tariq is is answered in the following verse: it is the shining star. Then from the omnipotence of God and the divine creation of man it is concluded that the dead may be resurrected .

The second part, from verse 11, was written a little later. Here, after an evocation of heaven and earth, the authenticity of the Koranic revelation is confirmed against cunning adversaries, whom God in turn threatens to outsmart. The final verse affirms the divine will to grant the unbelievers a respite, and so Mohammed should also grant them a respite . This verse, as well as the other verses, which recommend a wait-and-see attitude towards the polytheists and adopt a peaceful tone, is, in the opinion of some commentators, abrogated by the sword verse in Sura 9 , which was only revealed at Medina , i.e. H. been canceled.
