The surah's big idea

Arise, keep your clothes pure and be patient for your Lord; every soul is held by what it earned

What did I learn from the surah?

  1. 1. Arise and warn
    O Prophet, you who wrap yourself in your clothes, arise and warn the people, glorify your Lord alone, purify your clothes, stay away from idols, do not give in order to get more back, and be patient for your Lord.
  2. 2. A hard Day
    When the horn is blown for the Resurrection, that will be a hard Day for the disbelievers, not easy.
  3. 3. Leave Me with the one I created alone
    Leave Me with the one I created alone in his mother's womb. I gave him much wealth, sons present with him, and an easy life, yet he wants Me to give him more. No! He was stubborn against Our verses; I will make him face a hard punishment.
  4. 4. He thought and plotted
    He thought and prepared what to say to attack the Quran; may he be ruined for how he planned! Then he looked, then frowned and scowled, then turned away in pride and said: this is nothing but magic passed down; this is only the word of a human.
  5. 5. Saqar
    I will put him into Saqar. And what will make you know what Saqar is? A Fire that leaves nothing and spares nothing, burning and blackening the skin; over it are nineteen angels.
  6. 6. The soldiers of your Lord
    We made the keepers of the Fire angels, and made their number a test for the disbelievers, so that the People of the Book become certain and the believers grow in faith. None knows the soldiers of your Lord but Him, and the Fire is only a reminder for people.
  7. 7. By the morning when it brightens
    No! Allah swears by the moon, by the night as it leaves, and by the morning as it shines: the Fire is one of the gravest of all things, a warning to people, for whoever of you wants to move forward with obedience or fall behind with sin.
  8. 8. The companions of the right
    Every soul is held by what it has earned, except the companions of the right; in gardens they will ask one another about the criminals: what put you into Saqar?
  9. 9. We were not of those who prayed
    They said: we were not of those who prayed, nor did we feed the poor; we used to join in idle false talk with those who did, and we denied the Day of Judgement, until death came to us.
  10. 10. Fleeing from a lion
    So the intercession of intercessors will not help them. What is wrong with them, turning away from the reminder, as if they were frightened wild donkeys fleeing from a lion?
  11. 11. Worthy of fear and forgiveness
    Each of them wants open pages sent down to him. No! They do not fear the Hereafter. No! The Quran is a reminder, so whoever wills will remember it, and they will not remember unless Allah wills. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
