The surah's big idea

The Day is real; let us take our book in the right hand with faith, good deeds and feeding the needy

What did I learn from the surah?

  1. 1. The Sure Reality
    Al-Haqqah is the Day of Resurrection, the day that will surely come, with no doubt. What is the Sure Reality? And what will make you know, O Muhammad, peace be upon him, how true and how great it is?
  2. 2. Thamud and Aad
    Thamud, the people of Salih, and Aad, the people of Hud, denied the Day. Thamud were destroyed by a terrible blast, and Aad by a cold, violent wind that Allah sent on them for seven nights and eight days in a row, until they lay like hollow fallen palm trunks. Do you see any of them left?
  3. 3. Pharaoh and the overturned towns
    Pharaoh came, and the disbelieving nations before him, and the people of Lut's towns, which were turned upside down because of their disbelief and their ugly deeds. They disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so Allah seized them with a mighty grip.
  4. 4. We carried you in the ship
    When the water rose high above everything, Allah carried your forefathers with Noah, peace be upon him, in the ship that sailed on the water, to make the saving of the believers and the drowning of the disbelievers a lesson that every listening ear keeps and understands.
  5. 5. A single blast
    When the Horn is blown a single blast, and the earth and the mountains are lifted and crushed with one blow, on that Day the Event will happen. The sky will split open and be frail that Day, the angels at its edges, and eight will carry the Throne of your Lord above them. That Day you will be shown before Allah; nothing of yours will be hidden.
  6. 6. Here, read my book
    As for the one given his book of deeds in his right hand, he says with joy: Here, read my book! I was sure I would meet my account. He will be in a pleasing life, in a lofty garden whose fruit hangs near. It will be said: Eat and drink happily for the good you sent ahead in the days gone by.
  7. 7. My wealth did not help me
    As for the one given his book in his left hand, he says with regret: If only I had not been given my book, and had never known my account! If only death had been the end! My wealth has not helped me, and my power and my excuses are gone.
  8. 8. Feeding the needy
    It will be said to the keepers of Hell: Seize him and bind him, then let him enter the Blaze, then bind him in a chain seventy cubits long; for he did not believe in Allah the Most Great, and did not urge people to feed the needy. So he has no close friend there today, and no food except the discharge of the people of the Fire, which only the sinners eat.
  9. 9. Sent down from the Lord of the worlds
    Allah swears by what you see and what you do not see: the Quran is the word of Allah recited by a noble messenger. It is not the words of a poet; how little you believe! Nor the words of a fortune-teller; how little you reflect! It is sent down from the Lord of the worlds.
  10. 10. Glorify the name of your Lord
    Had Muhammad, peace be upon him, made up any words against Us, We would have seized him with strength, and none of you could have stopped Us. The Quran is a reminder for the God-fearing. Allah knows some of you deny it; it will be a regret for the disbelievers, and it is the certain truth. So glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
