075- AL-QIYAMAH
THE RESURRECTION
Al-Qiyāmah is an early Makkan sūrah that takes its name from God’s swearing by the Resurrection in the first verse and the focus upon the Resurrection throughout. It is also known as Lā uqsimu, meaning “I Swear,” the phrase with which the first and second verses begin. The sūrah begins with two oaths (vv. 1–2), the second of which is subject to much interpretation. It then rebukes those who deny the Day of Resurrection and speaks of its signs (vv. 3–15). This is followed by a famous passage (vv. 16–19) that counsels the Prophet to receive the revelation with patience. The next section (vv. 20–36) contrasts the final ends of believers and disbelievers and speaks of the inevitability of death followed by another rebuke for those who deny the truth. The sūrah concludes by invoking the stages of life as evidence of God’s Omnipotence and of His ability to resurrect the dead (vv. 36–40).
