1. Opening โ€“ The Inevitable Reality (Ayah 1โ€“3)

  • Allah begins with Al-แธคฤqqah โ€“ the unavoidable Day of Resurrection.

  • It is introduced with awe and emphasis: โ€œWhat is the Inevitable Reality? And what can make you know what the Inevitable Reality is?โ€


2. Past Nations Destroyed (Ayah 4โ€“12)

  • Thamลซd (destroyed by a violent shout).

  • สฟฤ€d (destroyed by a furious wind for seven nights and eight days).

  • Pharaoh, the overturned towns (Lลซแนญโ€™s people), and others โ€“ all punished for denial.

  • The Flood of Nลซแธฅ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… is also mentioned as a reminder of Allahโ€™s power and warning.

4. The Two Outcomes (Ayah 19โ€“37)

๐Ÿ”น For the Believers:

  • Those who receive their record in their right hand will rejoice:

    • โ€œHere, read my record!โ€

    • They will have an easy life in Paradise, with gardens and bliss.

๐Ÿ”น For the Disbelievers:

  • Those who receive their record in their left hand will lament:
