Surah's In Qur'an The Lesson's And Hadith's

76: (Al-Insan)- Man

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 .

76: (Al-Insan)- Man

(Human)Number of Verses: 31

(The Arabic meaning of 'Insan' is 'Human'. In the English language the words 'mankind' and 'man' are also used for 'Human' and we have used 'man' in the text.)

Sūra al-Insān (Arabic: سورة الإنسان) or Sūra Hal Atā ( سورة هل أتی) or Sūra al-Dahr (سورة الدهر) is the seventy sixth sura of the quran in accordance to the order of its compilation and the ninety sixth sura in the order of revelation. It is a madani sura of the Qur'an.

According to and some exegetes of the Qur'an, the eighth verse of this sura which is known as al-it'am verse is a characterization of a virtue of imam 'ali (a), fatima al-zahra (a), Imam al-hasan (a), Imam al-husayn (a), and their housemaid, Fidda. They fasted for three consecutive days because of their nadhr, but they gave their breakfast (iftar) to a poor person, an orphan, and a prisoner despite their hunger.

In spite of its brevity, this Surah presents a deep, varied and comprehensive theme which can be divided into five sections:

1. Man's creation from a drop of mingled sperm; his guidance and his free‑will.

2. The reward offered to the Righteous /abrar/. (This part has a special occasion for its revelation in relation to the household of the Prophet (S), ie. Ahlul Bayt; which will be discussed at a later point.)

3. The merits which cause one to deserve the rewards.

4. The importance of The Qur'an, the manner of conducting its principles and the demanding road of self‑perfection.

5. The dominance of Allah's Will (even though man has limited free‑will).

There are different titles for this Surah; the most famous are "MAN" (Insan),"TIME" (Dahr) and

"HAS THERE COME" (Hal‑ata)

each of which is taken from one of the words at the beginning of the Surah; however, in the traditions we will discuss, here, about the virtue of the Surah, only Hal‑ata is mentioned.

There is a tradition from the Prophet (S) that says:

"One who studies Surah Hal-ata will be rewarded Heaven and clothes of silk (in Heaven) by Allah."

There is also a narration from Imam Baqir (as) which says:

"One of the rewards for a person who studies Surah Hal-ata every Thursday morning is that he will be with the Prophet (S) on the Day of Judgement."
