Different Surahs in the Quran and Their Significance

The Quran came down to the Muslim nation part by part in different chapters. The Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and signifies different essential aspects of life. Every Surah has a theme that aims to resolve different complications in life. 

Let us explore them one by one –

The Opening Surah- Surah Fatiha 

Al-Fatiha, repeated in every Islamic prayer unit, is frequently referred to as the essence of the Quran. It serves as an opening prayer for the reader's spiritual journey through the Quran, asking for mercy, forgiveness, and guidance.

Surah Ikhlas- Chapter 30 

Surah Iklhas in Chapter 30 is a very short surah; however, it holds great value. If you read the Holy Quran in English, you will find that this surah contains only four verses. However, the impact of reading it is tenfold. This small surah is equivalent to one-third of the Quran. 

Surah Mulk- Chapter 29

Also called the Sovereignty, this surah is vital to safeguard yourself from the torment of the grave. This Surah emphasises the wonders of Allah's creation and the results of human deeds. It acts as a reminder of life's fleeting nature and invites contemplation of the universe's signs.

The Prophet states in an authentic hadith that whoever recites Surah Mulk at night before retiring to bed will be saved from the torment of the grave. 

Surah Kahf- The Cave (Chapters 15-16)

Surah Kahf is yet another important surah mentioned in the Quran. It mainly comprises four different stories, each imparting a different message for the Muslims. This Surah emphasises faith, fortitude, and the adverse effects of materialism while telling the tale of a group of young men who sought safety in a cave. This is one of the four stories mentioned in the Surah. It is advised to read this Surah on Fridays to ask for divine protection. Whoever recites Surah Kahf every Friday will receive a light of protection from one Friday to the next. 

Understanding the Surah and the Quran you read is essential to comprehend the messages sent out to mankind. Even if you do not understand Arabic, read the English version Quran and understand what you read.

Muharram Ul Haram- What Does The Holy Quran Say About Mourning?

Image
First of all, it is important to know that Muharram is the first month of the Islamic year. It is a sacred month for several reasons, and people often keep fasts to pay respect to the martyrdom of many Islamic leaders in the battle of Karbala.  The most pious and beloved grandson of our Prophet ﷺ and his loyal companions were held up for ten days without food and water. Allah (SWT) mentions in the Holy Quran, surah 9, verse 36: ‘ ..Four of them are sacred: that is the right religion. So wrong not yourselves in them.... ’ It is Allah (SWT) who controls our hearts and emotions. It is clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran in English in the surah An Najm , verse 43: ‘ And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep. ’ Thus, we come to know that weeping within the limits of the Shariah is permissible and acceptable. If you ponder upon the English translated Quran , you will learn how excessive weeping leads to white eyes and eventually blinding! It is mentioned in Surah Yousuf , v
