45: (Al-Jathiyah)- Kneeling

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

(The Kneeling)

Section (juz' 25)

Number of Verses: 37

Sūra al-Jāthīya (Arabic: سورَة الجاثیة) is the forty fifth surah of the quran. It is a makki sura located in twenty five. The word "al-Jathiya" means "crawling" and this sura is called so, because in verse twenty eight, it speaks about seeing every nation fallen on its knees on the day of judgement upon receiving their records of deeds.

The discussion about the rightfulness of the Qur'an, the oneness of god, warning the ignorant who insist on their deviant beliefs, inviting believers to forgive disbeleivers and describing scenes from the Day of Judgement are among the issues mentioned in this sura. About the merits of recitation of this sura, it is transmitted from the prophet that whoever recites Sura al-Jathiya, allah  will cover his defects and removes his fears and worries upon reckoning.

The Chapter was revealed in Mecca. The designation of the Chapter is taken from Verse 28 in which the word jathiya denotes kneeling. God Almighty is described as the Omnipotent (al-'Aziz) and the Wise (al-Hakim) in the opening and closing Verses of the Chapter.

The subject matter of the Chapter includes the Greatness of the Qur'an, arguments substantiating Divine Unity, refutation of materialistic views, history of some ancient peoples, warning to the astray, encouragement to forgiveness, and allusions to the depictions of resurrection.

Lessons

Allāh made subservient for man most things on earth.

Whoever does good, does so for his/her own benefit; and whoever does bad, will him/herself stand to suffer from it.

If you become a slave to your desires, you will deviate despite knowing the truth, and become blind and deaf to it.
