    Read the passage · At-Taariq

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ١

    By the sky and the night comer -

    وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ٢

    And what can make you know what is the night comer?

    ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ٣

    It is the piercing star -

    إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ٤

    There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

    فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ٥

    So let man observe from what he was created.

    خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ٦

    He was created from a fluid, ejected,

    يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ٧

    Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

    إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ٨

    Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

    يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ٩

    The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

    فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ١٠

    Then man will have no power or any helper.

    وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ١١

    By the sky which returns [rain]

    وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ١٢

    And [by] the earth which cracks open,

    إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ١٣

    Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

    وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ١٤

    And it is not amusement.

    إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا١٥

    Indeed, they are planning a plan,

    وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا١٦

    But I am planning a plan.

    فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا١٧

    So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا١

    By the sun and its brightness

    وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا٢

    And [by] the moon when it follows it

    وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا٣

    And [by] the day when it displays it

    وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا٤

    And [by] the night when it covers it

    وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا٥

    And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

    وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا٦

    And [by] the earth and He who spread it

    وَنَفْسٍۢ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا٧

    And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

    فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا٨

    And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,

    قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا٩

    He has succeeded who purifies it,

    وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا١٠

    And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].

    كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ١١

    Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,

    إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا١٢

    When the most wretched of them was sent forth.

    فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا١٣

    And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."

    فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا١٤

    But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].

    وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا١٥

    And He does not fear the consequence thereof.

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently. The live tracker's ayat begin on 25 September 2026; for earlier days this page shows the Haramain library's records.

Look up a day

Hijri date

Where this comes from

Each prayer's imam, passage and recording are listed by the Haramain library, Tilawat al-Haramain (tilawatalharamain.com), usually within a few hours of the prayer. Its titles are written by hand; Hasanah reads the surahs and ayat from them.

The ayat by rak'ah come from Hasanah's live tracker, which listens to the Quran channel's broadcast from the Haram and names each ayah as it is recited. It has kept them since 25 September 2026. It can miss an ayah or mishear one, so a passage it heard may be a little shorter or longer than the one recited.

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently, so there is no recitation to show for them. Times are calculated for Makkah by the Umm al-Qura method.
