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-Ikhlāṣ (Arabic: الْإِخْلَاص, "Sincerity"), also known as the Declaration of God's Unity[1] and al-Tawhid (Arabic: التوحيد, "Monotheism"),[2] 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 a challenge over the distinguishing attributes of the GOD, Muhammad invited them to worship.[3]

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.

Al-Masad (Arabic: المسد, (meaning: "Twisted Strands" or "The Palm Fiber"[1]) is the 111th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. It has 5 āyāt or verses and recounts the punishments that Abū Lahab and his wife will suffer in Hell.[1]

۝[2] May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he.۝ His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained.[3]۝ He will burn in a Fire of flame [4]۝ and his wife also, bearing wood,۝ having on her neck [5] a rope of twisted strands.[4]

A study on Quranic manuscripts within the Vatican Library noted the titles Lahab (Flame);[6] masad;[7] al-ḥaṭab;[8] and Abī Lahab.[9][10] In the 1730s the chapter title was known as Abu Laheb by translator George Sale.

An-Nasr, (Arabic: النصر, an-naṣr, "Help",[1] or "[Divine] Support" [2]), is the 110th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an with 3 āyāt or verses.

۝[3] WHEN the assistance of GOD shall come, and the victory;۝ and thou shalt see the people enter into the religion of GOD by troops:۝ celebrate the praise of thy LORD, and ask pardon of him; for he is inclined to forgive.[4]

An-Nasr translates to English as both "the victory" and "the help or assistance". It is the third-shortest surah after Al-Asr and Al-Kawthar by a number of ayat. Surah 112 (al-Ikhlāṣ) actually has fewer words in Arabic than Surah An-Nasr, yet it has four verses.

Al-Kāfirūn[1] (Arabic: الكافرون, "The Unbelievers") is the name of the 109th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. It has six ayat or verses as follows:

۝[2] Say, "O disbelievers,۝ I do not worship what you worship.۝ Nor are you worshippers of what I worship.۝ Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship.۝ Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship.۝ For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.

Al-Kawthar (Arabic: الكوثر, "Abundance")[1] is the 108th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. It is the shortest chapter, consisting of three ayat or verses:

۝[2] We have given thee abundance [3]۝ So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him alone].[4][5]۝ Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off.[6]

There are several different opinions as the timing and contextual background of its supposed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl). According to Ibn Ishaq, it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, sometime before the Isra and Mi'raj.

Al-Ma'un (Arabic: الماعون, al-māʻūn, "Small Kindnesses, Almsgiving, Acts of Kindness, and Have You Seen") is the 107th chapter (surah) of the Qur'an, with 7 ayat or verses.

۝[1] WHAT thinkest thou of him who denieth the future judgment as a falsehood?۝ It is he who pusheth away the orphan;[u 1]۝ and stirreth not up others to feed the poor.۝ Woe be unto those who pray,۝ and who are negligent at their prayer:۝ who play the hypocrites,۝ and deny necessaries[x 1] to the needy.[2]

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.

Quraysh (Arabic: قريش, "Chapter Quraysh") is the 106th chapter (surah) of the Qur'an consisting of 4 ayat or verses. The surah takes its name from the word "Quraysh" in the first verse.

1-4 The Quraish exhorted to thank God for commercial privileges

Al-Fil (Arabic: الفيل, "The Elephant") is the 105th chapter (surah) of the Quran. It is a Meccan sura consisting of 5 verses. The surah is written in the interrogative form.

۝[1] HAST thou not seen how thy LORD dealt with the masters of the elephant?۝ Did he not make their treacherous design an occasion of drawing them into error;۝ and send against them flocks of birds,۝ which casts down upon them stones of baked clay;۝ and render them like the leaves of corn eaten by cattle?

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.

Al-Asr, (Arabic: العصر, The Declining Day, Eventide, The Epoch, Time") is the 103rd chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’ān, the Muslim holy book. It contains three āyāt or verses. Surat al-‘Asr is the second shortest chapter after al-Kawthar.

۝[1] By the afternoon;۝ verily man employeth himself in that which will prove of loss:۝ except those who believe, and do that which is right; and who mutually recommend the truth, and mutually recommend perseverance unto each other.

At-Takāthur (Arabic: التكاثر, "Rivalry, Competition") is the 102nd chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, with 8 verses (āyāt). Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed 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.

• 1-3 Men spend their time seeking the things of this world
• 3-5 The judgment-day shall reveal their folly
• 6-8 In consequence they shall see hell-fire

Al-Qaria or The Calamity[1] (Arabic: القارعة, al-Qāriʻah, also known as The Striking,[2]) is the 101st chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 11 āyāt or verses. This chapter takes its name from its first word "qariah",[3] referring to the Quranic view of the end time and eschatology. "Qariah" has been translated as calamity, striking, catastrophe and clatterer.[4] According to Ibn Kathir, a traditionalistic exegete, Al-Qariah is one of the names of the Day of Judgement, like Al-Haaqqa, At-Tammah, As-Sakhkhah and others.

1-5 The day of judgment a day of calamity [6][1]

6-9 The good and bad shall be judged according to their works

10-11 Háwíyah described [6]

After a picturesque depiction of judgement day in first 5 verses,[7] next 4 verses (ayat) describe that God's Court will be established and the people will be called upon to account for their deeds. The people whose good deeds will be heavier, will be blessed with bliss and happiness, and the people whose good deeds will be lighter, will be cast into the burning fire of hell.[8]

The last 2 verses describe Háwíyah[9] in a similar emphatic[10][11] way as Al-Qariah was emphasized[12][13] in the beginning. According to the Papal translator, Maracci, the original word Hâwiyat is the name of the lowest dungeon of hell, and properly signifies a deep pit or gulf.[14] Jewish to Muslim convert, Muhammad Asad comments here: Lit., "his mother [i.e., goal] will be an abyss" (of suffering and despair). According to Quranite translator, Sam Gerrans, the term "mother" (umm) is used idiomatically to denote something that embraces or enfolds.

Al-Adiyat or The War Horses which run swiftly[1] (Arabic: العاديات, al-ʿādiyāt, also known as "The Courser, The Chargers") is the 100th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, with 11 āyāt or verses. 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, rather than later in Medina.

• 1-6 Oaths that man is ungrateful to his God
• 7-8 Man loves the things of this world
• 9-11 Man’s secret thoughts shall be discovered in the judgment-day [2]

A one liner theme of surah al-adiyat would read that this surah gives an example that horses are more grateful to their owners than men are to their Rabb (Allah).[3]

• First five ayaat of the surah consist of an oath as a metaphor enforcing the lesson.[4] They describe a scene of horses charging, panting, producing sparks by their hooves, raiding at the time of dawn, stirring up the cloud of dust and arriving a gathering.
• The substantive proposition is in verses 6-8 that Man is ungrateful to his Lord and himself is a witness to it and he is immoderate in the love of worldly good.[5]
• The last three ayaat conclude the surah with a rhetorical question that Does the man not know about the time when contents of the graves will be resurrected and that which is in men's breasts shall be brought to light on that Day their Sustainer will show that He has always been fully aware of them.

Al-Zalzalah (Arabic: الزلزلة, al-zalzalah, meaning: "The Quake") is the 99th chapter (surah) of the Qur'an, composed of 8 ayat or verses. Although it is usually classified as a Medinan surah, the period during which the surah was revealed is not unanimously agreed upon by Qur'anic exegetes. Other Abrahamic religions also support the idea of punishment to the wrongdoers like in the Day of Judgement

• 1-3 The judgment-day shall be ushered in by a declare why she trembles
• 6-8 Men shall be judged according to their deeds [1]

The surah begins by describing how on the Day of Judgment, the Earth will give off a terrible earthquake and "throw up her burdens". Through the inspiration of God, the Earth will bear witness to the actions of men it has witnessed. According to Michael Sells, the earth opening up and bearing forth her secrets in this sura is indicative of a birth metaphor. The earth al-'Ard in the feminine gender bears forth of how her lord revealed the final secret to her. Human beings will then realize that the moment of accountability has arrived. This meticulous accountability will reflect good and evil deeds that might have seemed insignificant at the time.[2]

The two concluding verses state that all men will be sorted out into groups according to their deeds, and they will see the consequence of everything they have done; every atom's weight of good or evil:

Al-Bayyina or The Evidence (Arabic: البينة, al-bayyinah, aka "The Clear Proof") is the 98th Chapter (surah) of the Qur'an, with 8 ayat or verses.[1] The Surah is so designated after the word al-bayyinah occurring at the end of the first verse.

• 1-2 The idolaters stagger at the revelations of the Quran
• 3-4 Jews and Christians dispute among themselves since the advent of Muhammad and his new religion
• 5 Unbelievers of all classes threatened with divine judgments
• 6 People of the Book and polytheists are the worst of all creatures, destined for hell[2]
• 7-8 'Those who believed and done righteous deeds' are “the best of creatures”; their reward

Al-Qadr[1] (Arabic: القدر, "Power, Fate") is the 97th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, with 5 āyāt or verses. It is a Meccan surah[2] which celebrates the night when the first revelation of what would become the Qur'an was sent down. The chapter has been so designated after the word al-qadr in the first verse. It is mainly about power.

• 1 The Quran or a divine illumination vouchsafed to Muhammad on the night of al Qadr
• 2-5 The night of al Qadr described and lauded

Al-ʻAlaq or Congealed Blood [1] (Arabic: العلق, al-ʻalaq, also known as "The Clot" or "The Clinging Thing"), is the 96th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an. It is composed of 19 āyāt or verses. It is sometimes also known as Sūrat Iqrā (سورة إقرا, "Read").

Chapter 96 is traditionally believed to have been Muhammad's first revelation. While on retreat in the Cave of Hira, located at Mountain Jabal al-Nour near Mecca, Gabriel appears before Muhammad and commands him to “Read!”. He responded, “But I cannot read!”. Then the angel Gabriel embraced him tightly and then revealed to him the first lines, “Read: In the name of your Lord Who created, (1) Created human from a clot. (2) Read: And your Lord is the Most Generous, (3) Who taught by the pen, (4) Taught human that which he knew not.”[2] (Bukhari 4953). It is traditionally understood the first five ayats (1–5) of Surah Alaq were revealed; however, this is not the first fully complete Surah to be revealed and was actually revealed in 3 parts.

At-Tīn (Arabic: التين, "The Fig, The Figtree") is the ninety-fifth surah of the Qur'an, with 8 ayat or verses.

1-4 Oaths that God created man “a most excellent fabric”5-6 God has made all men vile except true believers7-8 None may rightly deny the judgment-day [1]

This sura opens by mentioning the fig (the sura's namesake), the olive, Mount Sinai, and "this city secured" (generally considered to be Mecca).

Al-Inshirāḥ (Arabic: الإنشراح, “Solace” or “Comfort”), or ash-Sharḥ (Arabic: الشرح, "The Opening-Up of the Breast") [1] 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 about how his people would receive him.

Al-Ḍuḥā (Arabic: الضحى, “The Morning Hours”, “Morning Bright”) is the ninety-third chapter (surah) of the Qur'an, with 11 āyat or verses. Qur'an 93 takes its name from Arabic its opening word, al-ḍuḥā, "the morning".

Although there is some debate amongst scholars, this sura is often considered to be the second revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. After the first sura was received, al-Alaq, there was a period of silence in which no further messages were revealed. During this time, Muhammad wondered if he had somehow displeased God, who it seemed for a while was no longer sending down His message. This sura broke that silence, and reassured Muhammad that all will be understood in time.

The image of the morning (al-ḍuḥā) is the first word of the sura, and can be understood as symbolizing Muhammad's "new day" as the Messenger of God, as well as the "dawn" of the new way of life that would become Islam. After this sura, the visitations of Gabriel with the words of the Qur'an would come to Muhammad regularly until his death.

The chapter begins with oaths. It then asks to reflect and prepares the reader for the ultimate lesson that is about to come. And then The ultimate lesson in this surah is: Allah gives favours to His Messenger i.e. Duha, Al-Inshirah, and Al-Kawthar. To conclude – Allah will tell what the Messenger of Allah should do to show gratefulness for all the favours and how his followers can follow his example of gratefulness. Because of subject matter, length, style, and placement in the Qur'an, this sura is often coupled with sura al-Inshirah, sometimes without the basmala between them. They are generally considered to have been revealed around the same time.

Sūrat al-Layl (Arabic: الليل, “The Night”) is the ninety-second sūrah (chapter) of the Qur'an, containing twenty-one āyāt (verses). This sūrah is one of the first ten to be revealed in Mecca. It contrasts two types of people, the charitable and the miserly, and describes each of their characteristics.

• 1-4 Oaths by various natural objects
• 5-13 The obedient blessed and the covetous accursed
• 14-16 The covetous warned with hell-fire
• 17-21 True believers shall be rewarded hereafter

Ash-Shams (Arabic: الشمس, "The Sun") is the 91st surah of the Qur'an, with 15 ayat or verses. It opens with a series of solemn oaths sworn on various astronomical phenomena, the first of which, "by the sun", gives the sura its name, then on the human soul itself. It then describes the fate of Thamud, a formerly prosperous but now extinct Arab tribe. The prophet Saleh urged them to worship God alone, and commanded them in God's name to preserve a certain she-camel; they disobeyed and continued to reject his message; they killed the she-camel and God destroyed them all except those who had followed Salih.

Al-Balad (Arabic: البلد, "The City"), is the 90th Surah or chapter of the Qur'an. It is composed of 20 ayat

• 1-7 Man, though created in misery, yet boasts of his riches
• 8-16 Captives to be freed and the poor and orphan to be fed
• 17-20 Description of the companions of the right and left hand

The subject matter and style of Qur'anic chapter al balad resemble those of the earliest Surahs revealed at Mecca,[2] but it contains a pointer which indicates that it was sent down in the period when the disbelievers of Makkah had resolved to oppose Muhammad, and made it lawful for themselves to commit tyranny and excess against him.

Al-Fajr (Arabic: الفجر, “The Dawn”, “Daybreak”) is the eighty-ninth chapter (sura) of the Quran, with 30 ayat or verses.[3] The sura describes destruction of disbelieving peoples: the Ancient Egyptians, the people of Iram of the Pillars, and Mada'in Saleh. It condemns those who love wealth and look with disdain upon the poor and orphans. Righteous people are promised Paradise – the final verse says "And enter you My Paradise!". The Surah is so designated after the word wal-fajr with which it opens.

• 1-4 Various oaths by natural objects
• 5-13 Unbelievers are warned by the fate of Ád, Thamúd, and Pharaoh[5]
• 14-17 Man praises God in prosperity, but reproaches him in adversity
• 18-22 Oppression of the poor and the orphan denounced
• 23-26 The wicked will vainly regret their evil deeds on the judgment-day
• 27-30 The believing soul invited to the joys of Paradise

Then the surah discusses that Man praises God in prosperity, but reproaches him in adversity in ayaat 14th to 17th. The discourse then denounces the oppression of the poor in ayaat 18th to 22nd. And approaching the end ayaat 23rd to 25th give the verdict that the wicked will vainly regret their evil deeds on the judgment-day, while ayaat 26th to the 30th gives the good news to the believing soul invited to the joys of Paradise.

Al-Ghāshiyah (Arabic: الغاشية, “The Overwhelming”, “The Pall”) is the 88th chapter (surah) of the Qur'an, with 26 ayat or verses.

The surah's topics are Paradise, Hell and the miracle of the creation of all things by God. This surah refers to three broad-ranging topics. First, God describes the difference between good and evil paths that an individual can take and the consequence of each path. He then clarifies their destiny and describes what hell would be like for the non-believers. The second theme mentions the creations God has made, referring to the sky, the earth, and the mountains. Lastly, in verses 21–22, God gives a direct message to Prophet Muhammad and tells him, "So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. You are not over them a controller.

Al-Aʻlā (Arabic: الأعلى, “The Most High”, “Glory To Your Lord In The Highest”) is the eighty-seventh chapter (surah) of the Qur'an, with 19 ayat or verses.

Al-A'la describes the Islamic view of existence, the Oneness of Allah, and Divine revelation, additionally mentioning rewards and punishments. Mankind often hides things from each other and from themselves as well. The sura reminds its readers that Allah knows the things that are declared and things that lie hidden. The final verse of this Sura affirms that a similar message was also revealed to Abraham and Moses in the scriptures.[1] This sura is part of the series of Al-Musabbihat as it begins with the glorification of Allah. This is a Makkan sura. The first 7 Āyāt (verses) were revealed during the first years of Makkan life.

One of the companions of Ali said that he prayed twenty consecutive nights behind him and he did not recite any Surah, except Surah A’la. Surat Al-A'lā is among the most recited suras in the Jummah and Witr prayers.

Aṭ-Ṭāriq[1] (Arabic: الطارق, also known as the Morning Star and by various other names), is the eighty-sixth sura of the Quran, with 17 ayat or verses. Muslims believe this chapter was sent to Muhammad when he was in Mecca.

• 1-3 Oath by the star of piercing brightness
• 4 Every soul has its guardian angel
• 5-8 God the Creator, and therefore can raise the dead
• 9-10 The judgment-day shall reveal secret thoughts
• 11-14 Oaths by heaven and earth that the Quran is God’s word
• 15-17 Muhammad exhorted to bear patiently with the unbelievers plotting his ruin

Al-Burūj[1] (Arabic: البروج, "The Great Star") is the eighty-fifth chapter (surah) of the Quran, with 22 ayat or verses.[2] The word "Al-Burooj" in the first verse is usually translated as 'stars', or more specifically, 'great stars'.[3] The word Al-Burooj is the plural of Burj, which means fort or tower; something that can be seen from a distance.

• 1-7 Cursed were the persecutors of the believers burned with fire
• 8-9 The believers persecuted for their faith in God
• 10-12 For the infidels is hell-fire, but for believers Paradise
• 13-16 God is Creator and Sovereign Ruler of the universe
• 17-20 Pharaoh and Thamúd examples to warn those who reject the Quran
• 21 The glorious Quran is kept in the Preserved Table [4]

The surah opens with an oath by a heaven full of stars: by the sky containing great stars.

Al-Inshiqāq (Arabic: الانشقاق, “The Sundering”, “Splitting Open”) is the eighty-fourth chapter (surah) of the Qur'an, with 25 verses (āyāt). It mentions details of the Day of Judgment when, according to this chapter, everyone will receive reckoning over their deeds in this world.

• 1-5 Signs of the judgment-day
• 6-15 The books of the righteous and the wicked given into their hands, and the consequence thereof
• 16-20 Oaths attesting the doctrine of the resurrection
• 21-25 The unbelievers denounced and threatened [3]

The name of the chapter, Al-Inshiqaq, is a noun variously translated as "The Sundering", "The Bursting Asunder", "The Splitting Open", among others. This name comes from the first verse of the chapter which reads When the sky is rent asunder. The verse does not contain the word al-inshiqaq verbatim, but rather it contains a word of the same root. It is a reference to the destruction of the world at the end of days, which the chapter portend. Thematically, the chapter follows a day-of-judgement theme that is present in the preceding chapters, including Al-Infitar (the 82nd chapter) and Al-Mutaffifin (83rd).[4][5][6]

The chapter begins (verses 1 to 5) by mentioning events that will happen on the Day of Judgment, including the sundering of the sky and the flattening of all that is on earth. Verses 6 to 15 talk about the disparity between those who in that day will be "given [their] book in [their] right hand" and have a joyful reckoning, and those who will not. A series of oaths (verses 16—18) follows, and then another contrast between the fate of the believers and the unbelievers in the day of judgment.

Al-Muṭaffifīn (Arabic: المطففين, “The Defrauders”) is the eighty-third surah of the Qur'an. It has 36 ayat or verses. The primary theme of this surah is Islamic eschatology or the hereafter, and the rhetoric addresses the following subjects is the discourse. The surah opens with a declaration of war and denunciation of those who use false weights and measures in the first six ayat.[1] The surah warns the audience that the acts of the wicked are recorded in the book Sajjín in 7th to 9th ayaat. The surah makes explicit the relation between morality and the doctrine of the Hereafter effectively and impressively with woes to those who reject Muhammad and deny the judgment-day in ayaat up to 17th. Further up to 21st ayat, the surah describes that the acts of the righteous are registered in Illiyún. The rewards of the righteous in Paradise are explained in ayaat 22nd up to 28th. In conclusion, from 29th to the 36th ayat, the believers have been consoled, and the disbelievers warned as if to say: Unbelievers mock at Muslims now but shall be laughed at in turn on the Day of Resurrection.

The Cleaving in Sunder [1] (Arabic: الانفطار, al-infiṭār, also known as "The Cleaving" and "Bursting Apart") is the 82nd sura of the Qur'an, with 19 ayat. The chapter is named 'Al-Infitar' because of the occurrence of the word 'unfatarat' in the first verse of this chapter. Infitar means 'split asunder': the word 'Unfatarat' is used in this chapter in order to describe the splitting of the sky on the day of Judgment. This chapter (Al-Infitar), along with chapters At-Takwir and Al-Inshiqaq, provides an exhaustive description about the 'Day of Judgment'.

• 1-5 Signs of the judgment-day
• 6-9 Astonishing unbelief of man in his Creator
• 10-12 Guardian angels record the deeds of men
• 13-16 In the judgment the righteous shall be rewarded and the wicked punished
• 17-19 On the day of judgment there shall be no intercessor

At-Takwīr (Arabic: التكوير, literally “The Turning Into a Sphere”) is the eighty-first chapter (sura) of the Qur'an, with 29 verses (ayat). It tells about signs of the coming of the day of judgement. Some of these signs include the following:

(a) when the sun is covered in darkness (solar eclipse),(b) when the stars fall,(c) and when the mountains vanish (blown away),(d) when the camels big with young are abandoned.(e) and when the wild beasts are herded together(f) and when the seas rise,(g) and when the souls are sorted,(h) and when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked,(i) for what crime she was killed?(j) and when the books [records of deeds] are open,(k) and when the sky is torn away,(l) and when Hell is set ablaze,(m) and when Paradise draws near,(n) then every Soul shall know what it has done.

• 24-32 It is God who provides man with food

An-Nāziʻāt (Arabic: النازعات, “Those Who Pull Out”, in reference to “the angels who tear out the souls of the wicked”) is the seventy-ninth sura of the Qur'an, with 46 ayat. Its name derived from the word wan-nazi‘at with which it opens. The root (n-z-‘) roughly means “to yank out with great force”,[2] although it can also mean “to yearn for” or “to yearn after”.

1-3 Oaths by the angels of death that there will be a resurrection and judgment-day4 The preceding narration about the angels tasked in the following verse of 5.[4] The angels with various roles and missions perform their tasks by descending from the sky.[4] Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymeen said the tasks which angels done cannot be done by normal humans.[4]5 The angels has roles that each of them assigned with certain tasks, such as Israfil, blowing horn of Qiyamah,[5][Notes 1] and Michael, who has been tasked to manage the dews, rains and growing plants, and Maalik, who are tasked to guard the hell while punishing the sinners.[8]6-7 Oaths by the messengers of death that there will be a resurrection and judgment-day8-14 Infidels shall be restored to life notwithstanding their unbelief15-26 The story of Moses and his mission to Pharaoh27-33 The Creator can raise the dead34-41 The righteous and the wicked in judgment, their various condition42-46 No one knows the time of judgment, but whenever it comes it will be soon for the infidels

An-Naba or The News[1] (Arabic: النبأ, an-nabaʼ,[2] also known as "The Tidings", "The Announcement") is the seventy-eighth chapter (surah) of the Quran, with forty ayat or verses. The first twenty verses discuss the wonders of the worldly creation (the earth, plants, the peace of night, the mountains and rain); the final twenty verses are about the eternal wonders and horrors of the next world, with the raging sinner (the Arabic triliteral root TGY "tageena" is used) being punished starkly opposed with the rewarding of dutiful believers in paradise.

Al-Mursalāt (Arabic: المرسلات, "The Emissaries", "Winds Sent Forth") is the 77th chapter (sura) of the Quran, with 50 verses.[1] The chapter takes its name from the word wal-mursalat in the first verse.[2] The subject is seen to provide evidence that it was revealed in the earliest period at Makkah. If this surah is read together with the two surahs preceding it, namely Al-Qiyamah and Ad-Dahr, and the two surahs following it, namely An-Naba and An-Naziat, it becomes obvious that all these surahs are the revelations of the same period, and they deal with one and the same theme, which has been impressed on the people of Makkah in different ways.

Al-Muzzammil (Arabic: المزمل, “The Enshrouded One”, “Bundled Up”, “Enfolded”) is the seventy-third chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, containing 20 verses (āyāt), which are recognized by Muslims as the word of God (Allah).

Al-Muzzammil takes its name from the reference to prophet 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.[1]

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-Jinn[1] (Arabic: الجن, “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. Similar to angels, the jinn are beings invisible to the naked human eye. In the Quran, it is stated in more than one instance 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.[2] 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.

Nūḥ[1] (Arabic: نوح, “Noah”) is the seventy-first chapter (surah) of the Quran with 28 verses (ayat). It is about the Islamic prophet Nūḥ and his complaint about his people rejecting all warnings Allah gave them through Nuh. Nūḥ's themes include belief in Allah, signs of Allah (the Earth, Sun, Moon), and punishment for denying Allah's message. In Nuh, the seventy-first surah, the Quran refers to Nuh’s prophethood in snippets. Nuh is a messenger of God. When Nuh realizes the messages are not accepted by the community, he supplicated to God, who planned to flood the community of Nuh at a specified time. God commanded Nuh to warn the people

Al-Maʻārij (Arabic: المعارج, “The Ascending Stairways”) is the seventieth chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, with 44 verses (āyāt). The Surah takes its name from the word dhil Ma'arij[1] in the third ayah. The word appears twice in the Quran.[2][3][4] Abdullah Yusuf Ali, an Indian Islamic scholar, introduces the surah as “... another Islamic eschatology Surah closely connected in subject matter with the last one. Patience and the mystery of Time will show the ways that climb the Heaven. Sin and Goodness must each eventually come to its own.

Al-Ḥāqqah (Arabic: الحاقة) is the 69th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an with 52 verses (āyāt). There are several English names under which the surah is known. These include “The Inevitable Hour”, “The Indubitable”, “The Inevitable Truth”, and “The Reality”. These titles are derived from alternate translations of al-Ḥāqqa, the word that appears in the first three ayat of the sura, each alluding to the main theme of the sura – the Day of Judgment.

Al-Ḥāqqa is a Meccan sura,[1] meaning it was revealed to Muhammad while he lived in Mecca rather than in Medina. Meccan suras divided into early, middle, and late periods. Theodor Nöldeke, in his chronology of suras, places the sura to be revealed in the early Meccan period.

The Surah tells about the destiny of Thamud, ʿĀd, Pharaoh, other toppled towns, the flood that came in the hour of Prophet Noah. It discusses the prize of the steadfast and the punishment of the disbelievers. At last, it reminds the individuals that this message is not the verse of a poet or something made up by the Prophet himself, it is the revelation of the Lord of the universes.

• 1-3 The judgment of God will infallibly come
• 4-10 Ád, Thamúd, and Pharaoh destroyed for rejecting their prophets
• 11-16 As the flood came, so shall the judgment certainly come

• 38-39 With terrible oaths Muhammad asserts the truth of his prophetic claims

The Pen (Arabic: القلم, al-qalam) is the sixty-eighth chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an with 52 verses (āyāt). Quran 68 describes God's justice and the judgment day. Three notable themes of this Surah are its response to the opponents' objections, warning and admonition to the disbelievers, and exhortation of patience to the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[1] Chronologically, this was the first appearance of any of the "disjointed" [i.e., single] letters (muqattaat) which precede a number of the surahs of the Qur'an,[2] while in Quranic order this is the last surah to have the appearance of muqattaat.

At-Taḥrīm (Arabic: التحريم, "Banning, Prohibition") is the 66th Surah or chapter of the Quran and contains 12 verses (ayah).[1] This Surah deals with questions regarding Muhammad's wives.[2][3]

The Surah's name is derived from the words lima tuharrimu of the first verse. This is not a title of its subject matter, but the name implies that it is the Surah in which the incident of tahrim (prohibition, forbiddance) has been mentioned.

• 1 Muhammad reproved for making a vow to please his wives
• 2 He is relieved from his vow
• 3-5 Muhammad's wives reproved and threatened for their jealousy in the affair of Mary, the Coptic slave

"Divorce" [1] (Arabic: الطلاق, aṭ-talāq) is the 65th chapter of the Qur'an with 12 verses (ayat). At-Talaq is not only the name of this Surah but also the title of its subject matter, as it contains commandments about Talaq (divorce) itself.[2] Abdullah ibn Masud (died c.653) reportedly described it as the shorter surah An-Nisa.[3] The surah also defines the time period of mourning (iddah) to be three menstruation periods. For pre-menarche girls and for post-menopause women - three months. In case of pregnancy, after the delivery of the child.[4]

After addressing the topic of divorce and a number of other resulting family issues[5] in first 7 verses,[6] the surah then strongly urges people to observe God’s regulations and guidance, and reminded the fate of earlier disobedient people that the apostate and disobedient were chastised for their sin.[7] The 11th verse describes the required attitude of the true believers that they exhort to faith in messenger and the regarding bounties.[8] Finally God’s power and knowledge are emphasized at the end.
