Wake Up The Ummah's video: Surah As-Saffat Those in Ranks - Powerful Recitation

Reciter : Sheikh Maher al-Muaiqly Summary of Surah As-Saffat (37th Chapter of the Quran) : A Meccan Surah having short verses characterized by a fast beat. It deals with establishing the correct Islamic creed and purging it of all traces of paganism and idolatry. It launches an attack against superstition, draws a scene of the Day of Judgment and discusses resurrection, reckoning and reward. Reference is made to the question of revelation and the message and a series of Messengers is mentioned to portray the attitude of their opponents to them and Allah's defense of His friends. The story of Abraham sacrificing his son is given special prominence as it exemplifies the pinnacle of submission attained through pure, unadulterated faith. The chapter opens by describing the angels and discussing how the jinn try to eavesdrop on the heavenly assembly only to be chased away by piercing flames. Allah's acts of creation are highlighted leading on to a refutation of those who deny the resurrection. The image of the resurrection is then drawn. The middle part of the chapter deals with the error of those who follow the unbelievers of old and accounts of some Messengers are narrated. The last part deals with superstitious beliefs concerning the Angels and jinn and promises victory to Allah's Messengers. The chapter closes by declaring the limitless glory of Allah.
