The surah's big idea

Whoever fears his Lord and holds back from bad desires, Paradise is his home

What did I learn from the surah?

  1. 1. By those who pull out
    Allah swears by the angels: those who pull out the souls of the disbelievers harshly, those who take the souls of the believers gently, those who glide down from the sky and up again, those who race to carry out Allah's command, and those who arrange what Allah has given them to manage.
  2. 2. The Day of the great quake
    On the Day the earth shakes with the first blast, followed by a second one, the hearts of the disbelievers will tremble with fear, and their eyes will be lowered by the terror of what they see.
  3. 3. One single blast
    The deniers say: 'Will we really be brought back to life after death, when we have become crumbling bones? That would be a losing return.' But it will be only one single blast, and suddenly they will be alive on the face of the earth.
  4. 4. Go to Pharaoh
    Has the story of Moses, peace be upon him, reached you, O Prophet, peace be upon him? When his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa: 'Go to Pharaoh, for he has transgressed, and say to him: Would you like to purify yourself, and let me guide you to your Lord so you will fear Him?'
  5. 5. The greatest sign
    So Moses showed Pharaoh the greatest sign, the staff and the hand, but Pharaoh denied and disobeyed his Lord, then turned his back and set about working against Moses.
  6. 6. "I am your lord, most high"
    Pharaoh gathered the people of his kingdom and called out: 'I am your lord, most high!' So Allah punished him in this world and the next, and made him a lesson for others. In that is a lesson for whoever fears Allah.
  7. 7. Are you harder to create, or the sky?
    Is bringing you back after death harder, or creating the sky? Allah built it above you, raised its ceiling high and made it even, darkened its night and brought out its day with the sun.
  8. 8. And the earth He spread out
    And after that He spread out the earth, brought out of it springs of water and pasture, and set the mountains firm in it, all as provision for you and your livestock.
  9. 9. The great overwhelming event
    When the great overwhelming event comes, man will remember everything he did, good and bad, and Hell will be shown plainly to everyone who sees.
  10. 10. And preferred this world
    As for the one who rebelled against Allah's command and preferred the life of this world over the Hereafter, his home will be the Fire.
  11. 11. And held the soul back from desire
    But the one who feared standing before his Lord for the reckoning and held his soul back from bad desires, Paradise will be his home.
  12. 12. They ask you about the Hour
    The idolaters ask you, O Prophet, peace be upon him, when the Hour will come. Its knowledge is not with you; it is with Allah alone. You are only a warner to those who fear it. On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had lived in this world only an evening or a morning.
