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 .

69: (Al-Haqqah)- The inevitable hour

(The Inevitable)Section (juz') 29

Number of Verses: 52

Sūra al-Ḥāqqa (Arabic: سُورَة الحاقَّة) is the sixty ninth sura of the quran. It is a makki surah and located in the juz' twenty nine of the Qur'an. Since the word, "al-Hāqqa", has occurred three times in its first three verses, it came to be called "Sura al-Haqqa". "Al-haqqa" in these verses refers to the day of resurrection. The sura is mainly concerned with the resurrection and its characterization, its inevitable occurrence, and the fate of people who denied it.

Well-known verses of this sura include the verses forty four-forty six according to which if the prophet(s)  untruthfully attributes a saying to god, God will avenge and cut his aorta. According to some hadiths, if a person recites Sura al-Haqqa, God will ease the evaluation of his actions on the Day of Judgment, and the recitation of this sura in obligatory daily prayers as well as nafilas is an effect of the belief in God and the Prophet (s).

The blessed Chapter, revealed in Mecca, has 52 Verses. The designation of the Chapter derives from the opening Verse denoting the inevitable. The blessed Chapter mainly treats of Resurrection, its attributes, and three designations of it, the Inevitable (al-haqqa), the Striking Hour (al-qari'a), and the Event (al-waqi'a), and those of the Hell, the Paradise, and the people of the Hell.

It is narrated from the Noble Prophet (S) as saying that one who recites Surah al-Haqqa, the burden of his sins shall be lessened.

It is narrated from Imam Baqir (as) that it is incumbent upon Muslims to recite Surah al-Haqqa many a time, since its recitation in ritual obligatory and supererogatory prayers serves as a token of believing in God Almighty and His Messenger (S) and whoever recites it, his faith shall be intact until he meets his Lord's Countenance, provided that he acts upon his religious obligations.
