'''Aṭ-Ṭāriq'''<ref name = "Quran 4 U">{{cite web|url=http://www.quran4u.com/Tafsir%20Ibn%20Kathir/086%20Tariq.htm  |title=Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English): Surah Al Tariq |work=Quran 4 U|author= Ibn Kathir|author-link= Ibn Kathir|access-date=9 April 2020}}</ref> ({{langx|ar|الطارق}}, "'''the Morning Star'''", "Nightcomer"), is the [[List of chapters in the Quran|eighty-sixth]] ''[[sura]]'' of the [[Quran]], with 17 ''[[ayat]]'' or verses. Muslims believe this chapter was revealed in [[Mecca]] at a time when the disbelievers were employing all sorts of devices and plans to defeat and frustrate the message of the Quran and [[Muhammad]].While traditional translations render Ṭāriq as “Morning Star” or “Nightcomer” (due to its appearance at night), the root meaning of “knocker” or “striker” has led some scholars and readers to suggest that the term could be alluding to a pulsar star—an astronomical object that “knocks” or emits regular pulses.
