Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
86:1 CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night!1
Note 1
Some commentators assume that what is described here as at-tariq ("that which comes in the night") is the morning-star, because it appears towards the end of the night; others - like Zamakhshari or Raghib - understand by it "the star" in its generic sense. Now if we analyze the origin of this noun, we find that it is derived from the verb taraqa, which primarily means "he beat [something]" or "knocked [at something]"; hence, taraqa 'l-bab, "he knocked at the door". Tropically, the noun signifies "anything [or "anyone"] that comes in the night", because a person who comes to a house by night is expected to knock at the door (Taj al-'Arus). In the Qur'anic mode of expression, at-tariq is evidently a metaphor for the heavenly solace which sometimes comes to a human being lost in the deepest darkness of affliction and distress; or for the sudden, intuitive enlightenment which disperses the darkness of uncertainty; or, finally, for divine revelation, which knocks, as it were, at the doors of man's heart.. and thus fulfils the functions of both solace and enlightenment. (For my rendering of the adjurative wa as "Consider", see surah 74, first half of note 23.)

Shabbir Ahmed (Quran As It Explains Itself)
86:1 The sky and the brightest star are witness to what is being said.1
Note 1
This is the 86th Surah of the Qur’an and it has 17 short verses.
‘Taariq’ literally means a night-visitant who arrives with a lamp in his hand and knocks at the door. [Taraq = Knock at the door]
Metaphorically, it applies to any star that shines at night, and also the brightest star on the horizon at any given time that 'knocks' at the darkness.
Keeping these meanings in mind, it dawns upon us that ‘At-Tariq’ = The Tariq, is very fittingly applicable to the exalted Messenger who arrived when the world was sunk in the Darkness of Ignorance. With the Radiant Lamp of the Qur’an in his hand this noble visitant knocked at the doors of minds and hearts and gave light that has been spreading over the entire planet earth.
[We find a similar but much less dignified statement about Jesus Christ in the Gospel, Mathew. 24:42 “Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming - 43 But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into – 44 Therefore, you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”]

Note 2
Those who are not familiar with the function of oaths question the wisdom of God "swearing" to convince His audience. The Quran uses oaths to pull our attention to a particular object, concept or relationship. We could translate all oaths by starting with "I pull your attention to:…." When we utter an oath we make God our witness. This testimony could work for us or against us depending on how accurate our position is. Thus, our use of God's name in our oaths has no bearing in proving our assertion or negation. We refer to oaths to persuade our audience by using our apparent relationship with God as concideration for contracts. If we are lying, our oath only increases the magnitude of our lie and thus increases our responsibility. The Quranic oaths, however, are not used to convince us; but to make us think. When God uses His creatures in His oaths, He pulls our attention to the signs in nature and scripture to encourage us and invite us to be rational, consistent, and logical.
The Quran reminds us consistently that the God who authored the ayat (signs) of the book is the same God who created the ayat (signs) of the physical universe; both are products of the same God and share the same characteristics. Besides this important reminder, the objects, events and concepts used in oaths prepare our mind for the upcoming issues or theses; they provide aesthetic and semantic mental pictures and reference points. For instance, do the above oaths pull our attention to the ten-based and digital number systems? Is there a relationship between the fourth verse and 74:33? See 56:75; 69:38; 70:40; 75:1; 77:1; 79:1; 81:15; 84:16; 85:1; 86:1; 90:1; 91:1; 92:1; 93:1; 95:1; 100:1; 103:2.
