A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

Abridged by Dr. Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammari.

Surah al-Tariq.
0:18
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:22
By the heaven and the Tariq (the night-comer).
0:26
“- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!” (86:2)
0:30
The piercing star.
0:33
“No human soul but hath a guardian over it.” (86:4)
0:40
Our Lord swears by the heaven,
0:43
And by the Tariq, which is the luminous star that arrives by night,
0:47
And disappears by day.
0:49
And what could make you understand, O Muhammad, what the Tariq is, by which I have sworn?
0:54
It is the star whose light ignites and glows.
0:58
There is no soul but that it has a guardian from its Lord, who preserves its deeds,
1:03
And keeps account of whatever it earns of good or evil.
1:08
So let man consider from what he was created.
1:15
“He is created from a gushing fluid” (86:6)
1:20
“That issued from between the loins and ribs.” (86:7)
1:26
“Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)” (86:8)
1:31
The Day when secrets are tested.
1:34
“Then will he have no might nor any helper.” (86:10)
1:41
Let the human who denies the resurrection after death consider,
1:45
From what thing his Lord created him.
1:48
He was created from a gushing fluid,
1:51
Which emerges from the loins of the man and the ribs of the woman,
1:54
Which is the place where the necklace rests on a woman's chest.
1:58
Indeed, Allah is fully capable of bringing man back to life after his death,
2:02
In the same state he was in before he died.
2:06
On the Day when the inner secrets of the servants are tested,
2:08
And there will be revealed on that Day what was hidden from the eyes of people in this world.
2:14
Then the disbelieving human will have no power on that Day to protect himself from the punishment of Allah,
2:20
Nor will he have any helper to support him or defend him against those who harmed him through his own schemes.
2:27
By the heaven which returns,
2:31
And the earth which cracks open.
2:34
Indeed, it is a decisive word,
2:39
And it is not for amusement.
2:41
Indeed, they are planning a scheme,
2:45
And I am planning a scheme.
2:48
“So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.” (86:17)
2:54
The heaven returns with clouds and the provisions of the servants each year,
2:59
And the earth cracks open with vegetation.
3:02
Indeed, this Qur'an and this message,
3:04
Are a decisive word that separates truth from falsehood through its clarity.
3:09
And it is not a matter of play or falsehood.
3:12
Indeed, these people who deny Allah, His Messenger, and the promise of reward and threat of punishment,
3:18
Are plotting a scheme,
3:19
And I am plotting a scheme.
3:22
And His scheme, may He be exalted, is to let them continue,
3:24
By granting them respite in their disobedience and disbelief in Him.
3:29
So grant the disbelievers respite, O Muhammad, and do not be hasty with them,
3:33
And delay them for a short while,
3:36
And wait for them until the appointed time, which is the moment when retribution befalls them.
