79: (Al-Nazi'at)- The pluckers

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 .

79: (Al-Nazi'at)- The pluckers

(Those Who Tear Out)Number of Verses: 46

Sūra al-Naziʿāt (Arabic: سورة النازعات) is the seventy ninth sura of the quran. It is a makki sura located in juz thirty. This sura is called al-Nazi'at because it begins with god's oath upon al-nazi'at. "Al-nazi'at" refers to the angels which take the souls from the dead. Sura al-Nazi'at describes the day of judgement, its appalling scenes, the destinies of the righteous ones and wrongdoers on that day, the story of Prophet moses(a) and the destiny of pharaoh. Finally, it emphasizes on this fact that no one knows when the Day of Judgment would take place.

In Sura al-Nazi'at, dahw al-ard (expansion of the earth) has been mentioned. It is mentioned hadiths in that the earth expanded from the land of mecca or the ka'ba. About the merits of recitation of this sura, it is narrated from the prophet (s) that whoever recites Sura al-Nazi'at, his waiting and reckoning of his deeds in the Day of Judgment will take as short as the time needed to perform one of the obligatory prayers.

The theme in this Surah, like Surah Nabaa, is about Resurrection and, on the whole, can be divided into six parts:

1. It emphasizes on the certainty of the Great Day and lays stress on its occurrence by emphatic statements, which relate to the Resurrection.

2. It points to one part of the frightening and dreadful incidents of that Day.

3. It precisely mentions the story of Moses and the end of the arrogant Pharaoh as a consolation for both the Prophet (S) and the believers, as well as giving a warning to the unbelievers, and also contains an indication to the fact that the denial of the Resurrection is the source of many sins.

4. It mentions a few of the countless Powers of Allah, which exist in the heavens and on the Earth; themselves, being evidences of the possibility of Resurrection and the new life after death.

5. It describes another part of the horrible events, on that Great Day, and the painful end of the unbelievers in contrast to the rewards of the righteous.

6. At the end of the Surah, it emphasizes on the fact that no one knows the date of that Day, however, it is certain that it is near.

The name Nazi'at is derived from the first verse of this Surah.

It is narrated that the Prophet (S) said:

"For he who studies Surah Nazi'at the length of his stay and his reckoning on the Day of Judgment will last as long as the saying of a daily prayer and, thereafter, he will come into Paradise".

A tradition from Imam Sadiq (as) says:

"He who studies it (Surah Nazi'at) will not pass away but satisfied, will not be brought into the Resurrection but satisfied, and will not come into Paradise but satisfied",

(with the infinite Grace of Allah).

The shocking verses of this Surah awaken the sleeping souls and draw their attention to their duties. Then, it is certain that only those who spiritually put the contents of this Surah into practice will receive these rewards; not those who content themselves with the mere reading of its words.
