Chapter 86: Surah <strong>al</strong>-Tariq<br />

In the name of <strong>Al</strong>lah, the Beneficent, the Merciful<br />

(By the heaven and the Morning Star; ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! <strong>The</strong> piercing<br />

Star!) [86:1-3].<br />

This was reve<strong>al</strong>ed about Abu T<strong>al</strong>ib. He once went to visit the Prophet, <strong>Al</strong>lah bless him and give him<br />

peace, and the latter offered him bread and milk. As Abu T<strong>al</strong>ib was sitting and eating, a meteor fell, filling<br />

everything with fire. Abu T<strong>al</strong>ib was scared. He asked: “What on earth can this be” <strong>The</strong> Prophet, <strong>Al</strong>lah<br />

bless him and give him peace, said: “This is a meteor that was thrown and it is one of the signs of <strong>Al</strong>lah”.<br />

Abu T<strong>al</strong>ib was amazed, and so <strong>Al</strong>lah, ex<strong>al</strong>ted is He, reve<strong>al</strong>ed these verses. 1<br />
