  • 102 - Al-Qaria, The Calamity القارعة The Striking

    Al-Qaria is the 101st chapter 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.[5]


    Summary

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


    Period of revelation

    Regarding the timing and contextual background of the supposed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), Al-Qāriʻah is a Meccan surah.[18] Meccan suras are chronologically earlier surahs that were revealed to Muhammad at Mecca before the hijrah to Medina in 622 CE. They are typically shorter, with relatively short ayat, and mostly come near the end of the Qur'an's 114 sūwar. Most of the surahs containing muqattaʿat are Meccan. Theodor Nöldeke and William Muir[19] alike assign this surah a place among the earliest revelations of the Qurán -George Sale.[20] In accordance with the western exegesis mentioned, the Muslim tafsirs [21] also exert that the contents of this surah show that this is one of the earliest Surahs to be revealed at Makkah.


    This surah belongs to the seventh and final group of surahs, which starts from Surah Al-Mulk (67) and runs to the end of the Quran. The theme of the seventh group is to warn the leadership of the Quraysh of the consequences of the Hereafter, to communicate the truth to them to the extent that they are left with no excuse to deny it, and, as a result, to warn them of a severe punishment, and to give glad tidings to Muhammad of the dominance of his religion in the Arabian peninsula. Briefly, this can be stated as delivering warning and glad tidings.[24]

    Rhetorically Al-Qariah has 2 similarities with Al-Haaqqa(69). Firstly the opening of the surah resembles Al-Haaqqa (69), which opens with the wordings
    69:1 الْحَاقَّةُ
    69:2 مَا الْحَاقَّةُ
    69:3 وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ

    notice that Al-Qaria opens in exactly same style
    101:1 الْقَارِعَةُ
    101:2 مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
    101:3 وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ

    Secondly, word Al-Qaria appears as a total of 5 times in Quran and out of which thrice it is mentioned in this surah while once it appears in Al-Haaqqa as well

  • 101 - Al-Adiyat العاديات  al-ʿādiyāt "The Courser, The Chargers"

    Al-Adiyat or The War Horses which run swiftly[1] ( العاديات, al-ʿādiyāt, also known as "The Courser, The Chargers") is the 100th chapter 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


    Summary


    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

  • 100 - Al-Adiyat - The War Horses which run swiftly⁠ ⁠العاديات "The Courser, The Chargers"

    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


    Summary


    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.

    Period of revelation

    Whether this Surah Al-Adiyat is a Makki or a Madani is disputed. But the subject matter of the Surah and its style clearly indicate that it is not only Makki, but was revealed in the early stage of Makkan period.[3] Abdullah bin Masud, Jabir, Hasan Basri, Ikrimah, and Ata say that it is Makki. Anas bin Malik, and Qatadah say that it is Madani; and from Ibn Abbas two views have been reported, first that it is a Makki Surah, and second that it is Madani. But the subject matter of the Surah and its style clearly indicate that it is not only Makki but was revealed in the earliest stage of Makkah. So the surah is considered to be Meccan conclusively.[6]


    Hadith

    According to hadith this surah is recommended in Maghrib prayer.

    Hisham ibn Urwah said that his father used to recite the surahs like the Al-Adiyat is recited. Abu Dawud said: This indicates that those (traditions indicating long surahs) are abrogated, and this is more sound tradition.[7]

  • 99 - Al-Zalzalah الزلزلة, "The Quake"

    Al-Zalzalah ( 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


    Summary

    1-5 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]

  • 96 - Al-ʻAlaq العلق "The Clinging Thing" or "The Embryo"

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


    Chapter 96 of the Qur'an is traditionally believed to have been Muhammad's first revelation. It is said that while Muhammad was on retreat in the Cave of Hira, at Jabal al-Nour near Mecca, the angel Gabriel appeared before him and commanded him to "Read!". He responded, "But I cannot read!". Then the angel Gabriel embraced him tightly and revealed to him the first lines, "Read: In the name of your Lord Who created,

    (1) Created man from a clot.

    (2) Read: And your Lord is the Most Generous,

    (3) Who taught by the pen,

    (4) Taught man that which he knew not."[2] (Bukhari 4953). It is traditionally understood the first five ayat or verses

    (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.


    Summary

    1-5 Angel Gabriel commanding towards Muhammad to recite the first verses of the Qur'an

    6-14 Rebuke of Abu Jahl for hindering the Muslim cause.15 ۩ 19 Abu Jahl threatened with the torments of Hell as punishment.[3]


    1-5 The first revelation

    Main article: Muhammad's first revelation

    The first five verses of this sura are believed by some commentators to be the first verses of the Quran claimed to be related by Muhammad. He received them while on a retreat in a mountain cave at Hira, just outside the city of Mecca, in 610 CE. A few commentators disagree with this account, claiming that the first revelation was the beginning of surat al-Muddaththir or surat al-Fatiha, but theirs is a minority position. Moreover, the term إِنْسَان‎ insān, which is translated "man, human", appears 65 times in the Qur'an, meaning "humanity".[4]


    Translation

    1. Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists),

    2. Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).

    3. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,

    4. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen [the first person to write was Prophet Idrees (Enoch)],

    5. Has taught man that which he knew not.

    6. Nay! Verily, man does transgress all bounds (in disbelief and evil deed, etc.).

    7. Because he considers himself self-sufficient.

    8. Surely! Unto your Lord is the return.

    9. Have you (O Muhammad ()) seen him (i.e. Abu Jahl) who prevents,

    10. A slave (Muhammad ()) when he prays?

    11. Tell me, if he (Muhammad ()) is on the guidance (of Allah)?

    12. Or enjoins piety?

    13. Tell me if he (the disbeliever, Abu Jahl) denies (the truth, i.e. this Qur'an), and turns away?

    14. Knows he not that Allah does see (what he does)?

    15. Nay! If he (Abu Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock,

    16. A lying, sinful forelock!

    17. Then, let him call upon his council (of helpers),

    18. We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)!

    19. Nay! (O Muhammad ())! Do not obey him (Abu Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allah!
