Quran Bangla Translation with Recitation – Details, episodes & analysis

Al-Nās or Mankind (Arabic: الناس, romanized: an-nās) is the 114th and last chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an. It is a short six-verse invocation.

۝[1] Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,۝ The Sovereign of mankind.۝ The God of mankind,۝ From the evil of the retreating whisperer –۝ Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind –۝ From among the jinn and mankind."[2]

The chapter takes its name from the word "men", "people" or "mankind" (al-nās), which recurs throughout the chapter. This and the preceding chapter, Al-Falaq ("Daybreak"), are known as "the Refuges" (Al-Mu'awwidhatayn): 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 or The Daybreak[1] (Arabic: اَلْفَلَق, al-falaq) is the 113th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an. It is a brief five ayat (verse) surah, asking God for protection from the evil:

۝[2] Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak,[3][o 1]۝ From the evil of His creation [p 1]۝ And from the evil of darkness when it settles[q 1]۝ And from the evil of the blowers in knots[5][r 1]۝ And from the evil of an envier when he envies.

Al-Humazah (Arabic: الهمزة: "The Backbiter",[1] "The Slanderer",[2] or "The Scorner"[3]) is the 104th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, with 9 āyāt or verses.

۝[4] Woe to every backbiter, slanderer,۝ who amasses wealth ˹greedily˺ and counts it ˹repeatedly˺,۝ thinking that their wealth will make them immortal!۝ Not at all! Such a person will certainly be tossed into the Crusher.۝ And what will make you realize what the Crusher is?۝ ˹It is˺ Allah’s kindled Fire,۝ which rages over the hearts.۝ It will be sealed over them,۝ ˹tightly secured˺ with long braces.[5]

The Surah takes its name from the word humazah occurring in the first verse. The main statement[according to whom?] in this surah is the Consequences of man in loss. It condemns those who slander others, whether by speech or action, and imagine that their own wealth will keep them immune from death, and describes the doom of Hell which awaits them.

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the supposed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, rather than later in Medina.

Ibrahim [1] (Arabic: إبراهيم, Ibrāhīm; Arabic synonym of "Abraham") is the 14th chapter (surah) of the Qur'an with 52 verses (āyāt).

The surah emphasizes that only God knows what goes on inside a man's heart, implying we must accept each other's words in good faith (14:38).[2]

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is a "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. It was revealed around 2-3 years before Hijrah, in a later stage of Muhammad preaching in Mecca when persecution of him and fellow Muslims had become severe.

Ar-Ra'd, (Arabic: الرعد ar-raʻd), or the Thunder,[1] is the 13th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, composed of 43 verses (āyāt). It has Muqattat (Quranic initials) المر (Alif. Lam. Mim. Ra or ALMR).

The goal of the Sura is the power of truth and the weakness of falsehood. Verse 15 contains a prostration symbol ۩:[2]

۝[3] Whatsoever is in heaven and on earth worshippeth GOD, voluntarily or of force; and their shadows also, morning and evening. ۩ [1]

This Sura is concerned with the oneness of God, the message, the judgment day and the penalty. The Sura revolves around an important axis that what is truth is clear through power and stability. And what is falsehood is clear through its weakness. No matter how it is dressed up and no matter how it pretends to be the truth. The verses call upon people to not be deceived by the glitter of falsehood because it is inevitably fleeting, while the truth shines throughout the entire universe.

Yusuf (Arabic: يوسف, Yūsuf; Arabic synonym of "Joseph") is the 12th chapter (Surah) of the Quran and has 111 Ayahs (verses).[1] It is preceded by sūrah Hud and followed by Ar-Ra’d (The thunder).

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it was revealed toward the end of the Makkan period,[2] which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. It is said to have been revealed in a single sitting and is unique in this respect.[3][unreliable source?] The text narrates the story of Yusuf (Joseph), son of Jacob, who is a prophet in Islam, and recounts his life and mission.

Unlike the accounts of other Islamic prophets,[4] different elements and aspects of which are related in different surahs, the life-history of Yusuf, is narrated in this surah only, in full and in chronological order.[2][5] This surah, which also tells of the truth, according to Muslims, contained in dreams, presents many principles of how to serve Islam by relating the life-history of a prophet, who became the most renowned and respected figure in the country to which he had been sold as a slave.

Hud (Arabic: هود, Hūd),[1] is the 11th chapter (Surah)[2] of the Quran and has 123 verses (ayat). It relates in part to the prophet Hud. 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.

Yunus (Arabic: يونس, Yūnus; Arabic synonym of "Jonas" or "Jonah"),[1] is the 10th chapter (surah) of the Quran with 109 verses (ayat). Yunus is named after the prophet Yunus (Jonah). According to tafsir chronology (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is believed to have been revealed before the migration of the Islamic prophet Muhammed and his followers from Mecca to Medina (Hijra), as such, it is known as a Meccan surah.

At-Tawbah (Arabic: ٱلتوبة, at-Tawbah; meaning: The Repentance),[1] also known as Bara'ah (Arabic: براءة, Barāʾah; meaning: Repudiation),[2][3] is the ninth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. It contains 129 verses (āyāt) and is one of the last Medinan surahs.

This Surah is reported to have been revealed at the time of the Battle of Tabuk in Madinah in the 9th year of the Hijrah. The Sanaa manuscript preserves some verses, on parchment radiocarbon dated to between 578/44bh and 669/49ah.[4][5]

It is the only Surah of the Quran that does not begin with Bismillah, the usual opening formula, In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. It deals with almost the same topics as those dealt with in Surat al-Anfal. In contrast to all other surahs, Muhammad did not order that this formula should be put at the beginning of this surah.

The Spoils[1] (Arabic: ٱلأنفال, al-ʾanfāl; aka Spoils of War,[2] Earnings, Savings, Profits)[3] is the eighth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 75 verses (āyāt). Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is a "Medinan surah", completed after the Battle of Badr. It forms a pair with the next surah, At-Tawba.[4]

According to the eminent Muslim philosopher Abul A'la Maududi, the chapter was probably revealed in 2 A. H. after the Battle of Badr, the first defensive clash between Meccans and Muslim people of Medina after they fled from persecution in Mecca . As it contains an extensive point-by-point survey of the Battle, it gives the idea that most presumably it was uncovered at very much the same time. Yet, it is additionally conceivable that a portion of the verse concerning the issues emerging because of this Battle may have been uncovered later and joined at the best possible spots to make it a consistent entirety.
