78: (Al-Naba)- The Tidings

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 .

78: (Al-Naba)- The Tidings

(The Great News)Number of Verses: 40

Sūra al-Nabaʾ (Arabic: سورة النبأ) or Sūra ʿAmma (Arabic: سورة عمَّ) or Sūra al-Tasāʾul (Arabic: سورة التسائل) is the seventy eighth sura of the quran and a makki sura. It is a relatively short Qur'anic sura. Sura al-Naba' is the first sura of the juz thirtieth. This is why this juz' is called "'Amma juz'". "Nabaʾ" means "news".

Sura al-Nabaʾ is concerned with the resurrection and its events, and the condition of sinners and good people on that day. Its well-known verses are verses thirty one onwards concerning the pious people after the resurrection. Some hadiths take the "pious" in these verses to refer to amir al-mu'minin (a).

There is a hadith according to which if someone recites Sura al-Nabaʾ every day, the year will not end until he visits the ka'ba.

Most of the verses of the last part of the Qur'an were revealed in Mecca. The nature of these Surahs is that they put emphasis on the Creation and the Resurrection, furnished with glad tidings and warnings; usually in a shocking and awakening tone.

All the verses of the Surahs, except a few, are short and full of implications. For the same reason, they affect, deeply, on any conscious person and they awaken some of the unaware, too. They give spirit to dead‑like people and make the indifferent ones feel responsibility. On the whole, they have a specific case and an enthusiastic world of their own, full of enlightenment and attraction.

Surah Nabaa is not an exception to this general principle. It begins with an awakening question, and ends with a wonderful sentence full of warning.

The contents of the Surah can be divided into several parts:

The question that is stated in the first verse about the

"Great News" /naba'-in-'ażim/

or the Hereafter.

Examples of the types of Divine Power in the Heavens and on Earth, and also of men's lives and their gifts as evidences to the possibility of the Resurrection and the Hereafter.

Preliminary signs of the Resurrection.

Reference to the painful chastisement of the transgressors.

The encouraging gifts and blessings of Heaven.

Finally, the Surah ends with some intensive warnings about the dreadful punishment, and then, the sad destiny of the Unbelievers.

The name of the Surah, Nabaa, is taken from its second verse, but sometimes it is called /'amma/ which is the first word in the first verse.

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

"He who studies Surah Nabaa will be satiated, by Allah, with a cold drink in Heaven".
