078 Surah Naba

Surat an-Naba' (Arabic: “The Tidings”, “The Announcement”) is the seventy-eighth chapter surah of the Quran with 40 verses. Its forty verses are divided into two equal parts of twenty verses each. The first twenty are filled with the wonders of the worldly creation (the earth, plants, the peace of night shared by loving couples, the mountains and rain). The latter twenty are filled with the eternal wonders and horrors of the next world with raging sinner (the Arabic root TGY "tageena" is used)being punished starkly opposed with the rewarding of dutiful believers (the Arabic root WQY "mutaqeena" is employed as a poetic parataxis to TGY) in paradise. a)Oneness of Allah (Tawheed): None except Allah has the power of creation, dominion and control. There is no Creator except Allah, no Sovereign except Allah and no Controller of affairs except Allah. He has no partner or associate. There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah. b) Messengership (Risalat): Allah has sent Prophets in all ages to guide mankind to the truth of Islamic Monotheism. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the last and final Messenger of Allah. It is essential for a person to believe in his Prophethood and follow him for eternal success.--- Updated: 2018-08-18
