I thought Tariq meant "way" or "path" or "road" in arabic, not "shinning star"

In the Arabic Wiki section it says that "tareeq al-hareer" is the Silk Road, for example.

The word "tareeq" (طاريق meaning "way" or "road") is not the same as the word "tariq" (طارق meaning as described in the article). The first one is spelles with a long i the second one with a short one.
