Al-Muzzammil
Al-Muzzammil (, “The Enshrouded One”, “Bundled Up”, “Enfolded”) is the seventy-third chapter () of the Quran, containing 20 verses (), which are recognized by Muslims as the word of God (Allah). The last Ruku of this surah contains only one ayāt making it possibly the smallest Ruku according to the number of verses or ayāt. Al-Muzzammil takes its name from the reference to Muhammad, in his cloak praying at night, in the opening verses of the chapter. Many commentators claim that “The Enfolded One” is a name for Muhammad, used throughout the Qur'an. In the beginning of this surah, God prepares Muhammad for an important revelation. In preparation for this revelation, God loosens the strict regulation on night prayer. Muhammad is then instructed to be patient for the disbelievers will be punished in Hell, as exemplified by a story of Pharaoh's punishment.

Al-Ma'un
Al-Ma'un (, , "Small Kindnesses, Almsgiving, Acts of Kindness, and Have You Seen") is the 107th surah of the Qur'an, with 7 ''ayat'' or verses. : Have you seen the one who denies the ˹final˺ Judgment? : That is the one who repulses the orphan, : and does not encourage the feeding of the poor. : So woe to those ˹hypocrites˺ who pray : yet are unmindful of their prayers; : those who ˹only˺ show off, : and refuse to give ˹even the simplest˺ aid. According to Abul A'la Maududi in his Chapter Introductions to the Quran', Ibn Abbas was cited by differing narrators as to whether it is a Medinan or Meccan surah. According to Maududi, it is more likely for the surah to be Medinan, given that the hypocritical unmindful worshippers addressed (especially in verses 4-6) would not have been seen in Mecca, where Muslims were persecuted for practicing their religion openly. Whereas in Medina, where Muslims held power, such people would be expected. Summary *1-3 Denuncia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
At-Tin
At-Tīn (, "The Fig, The Figtree") is the ninety-fifth surah of the Qur'an, with 8 ayat or verses. Summary :1-4 Oaths that God created man "in the best form" :5-6 God promises believers Paradise and disbelievers Hell :7-8 None may rightly deny the judgment-day This sura opens by mentioning the fig (the sura's namesake), the olive of Jerusalem, Mount Sinai, and "this city secured" (generally considered to be Mecca). Muhammad Asad, the author of The Message of The Qur'an comments on these verses: The cosmology of the Qur'an states that God made mankind out of clay. This sura suggests not only this, but that the mould which God used for man was "the best possible". The lowness of the clay has set humanity apart from God; because clay is heavier and more solid than fire, from which the Jinn were made, and light, from which the angels came. However, not all humanity is condemned to absolute removal from God's company. The passage continues that "those who believe and d ...

Al-Inshirah
Al-Inshirāḥ (, "Solace" or "Comfort"), or ash-Sharḥ (Arabic: الشرح, "The Opening-Up of the Breast") is the ninety-fourth chapter (''surah'') of the Qur'an, with eight '' ayat'' or verses. Because of its subject matter, length, style, and placement in the Qur'an, this sura is often coupled with Surah ad-Dhuha (Sura 93). They are generally considered to have been revealed around the same time. Al-Inshirāḥ's subject matter seems a continuation of the reassurance and encouragement given in the preceding chapter and so closely resembles it that both these Surah seem to have been revealed in about the same period under similar conditions. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (''asbāb al-nuzūl''), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. It is typically assumed that this sura is referring to the early days of Muhammad's prophethood when he would have been unsure ...

Al-Jinn
Al-Jinn (, “The Jinn”) is the 72nd chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with 28 verses ( āyāt). The name as well as the topic of this chapter is jinn. In the Quran, it is stated in that humans are created from the earth and jinn from smokeless fire. Although ''Al-Jinn'' is a Meccan surah, it is generally agreed that it was revealed much later than any other sura contained in ''Juz' Tabāraka -lladhi'' (which covers surahs 67 to 77). Abdullah Yusuf Ali says that it is "tolerably certain" that ''Al-Jinn'' was revealed around 2 B.H. when Muhammad was evangelising near present-day Ta'if. Maulana Muhammad Ali agrees with the date of around 2 B.H., saying that this surah was revealed at a time when opposition to the Prophet's message was reaching a climax.

Al-Nas
Al-Nas or Mankind () is the 114th and last chapter (''sūrah'') of the Qur'an. It is a short six- verse invocation. The chapter takes its name from the word "people" or "mankind" (''al-nas''), which recurs throughout the chapter. This and the preceding chapter, Al-Falaq ("Daybreak"), are known Al-Mu'awwidhatayn ("the Refuges"): dealing with roughly the same theme, they form a natural pair. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (''asbāb al-nuzūl''), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which indicates a revelation in Mecca rather than Medina. Early Muslims were persecuted in Mecca where Muhammed was not a leader, and not persecuted in Medina, where he was a protected leader. There is a Sunnah tradition of reading this chapter for the sick or before sleeping.

Al-Falaq
Al-Falaq or The Daybreak (, ''al-falaq'') is the 113th and penultimate chapter (''sūrah'') of the Qur'an. Alongside the 114th surah ( Al-Nas), it helps form the Al-Mu'awwidhatayn. Al-Falaq is a brief five ayat (verse) surah, asking God for protection from evil: : Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak,Sahih International translation : From the evil of His creation : And from the evil of darkness when it settles : And from the evil of the blowers in knots : And from the evil of an envier when he envies." Context This surah and the 114th (and last) surah in the Qur'an, an-Nās, are collectively referred to as '' al-Mu'awwidhatayn'', "the Refuges", as both begin with "I seek refuge"; an-Nās tells to seek Allah for refuge from the evil from within, while al-Falaq tells to seek Allah for refuge from the evil from outside, so reading both of them would protect a person from his own mischief and the mischief of others.

Al-Ikhlas
Al-Ikhlāṣ (, "Sincerity"), also known as the Declaration of God's Unity and al-Tawhid (, "Monotheism"), is the 112th chapter (''sūrah'') of the Quran. According to George Sale, this chapter is held in particular veneration by Muslims, and declared, by Islamic tradition, to be equal in value to a third part of the whole Quran. It is said to have been revealed during the Quraysh Conflict with Muhammad in answer to a challenge over the distinguishing attributes of God, Muhammad invited them to worship. Al-Ikhlas is not merely the name of this surah but also the title of its contents, for it deals exclusively with Tawhid. The other surahs of the Quran generally have been designated after a word occurring in them, but in this surah the word Ikhlas has occurred nowhere. It has been given this name in view of its meaning and subject matter. Text and meaning Text and transliteration * Hafs from Aasim ibn Abi al-Najud ¹ ² ³ ⁴ * Warsh from Nafi‘ al-Mad ...
