Surah Qiyamah Thematic Tafseer: -The surah begins about Qiyamah and ends about Qiyamah. -Allah swt is giving us images on how a believer/disbeliever will leave the world and what will happen to them in Yawmul Qiyamah. Scenario: -When the revelation came, the Quraish were mocking about the Yawmul Qiyamah and this is similar to how people mocking now and making it as a entertainment subject. ***************************************** Al-Qiyaama : 1 لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ I swear by the Day of Resurrection Al-Qiyaama : 2 وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection]. Allah swt took 2 oaths : 1)Yawmul Qiyamah 2) the soul( the soul which is feeling guilty) Why does Allah swt takes oaths? -He swt doesnt not need to do this to prove that he is speaking truth as we all know that he swt always speaks the truth. However ,this is to FURTHER EMPHASIS the truth. -Hence, oaths taken by Allah and human beings are different. How does Yawmul Qiyamah related to the soul? -All of us will be feeling guilty on that day. The believers will be feeling guilty for not doing more good deeds. While, the disbelievers will be feeling guilty for not worshipping Allah swt. -Every human beings feels the guilt. Whenever, you do wrong and there is no one watching you, you will still feel guilt. This is your mind reminding you that you are in a trouble for what you have done . And, it is reminding you that you need to face it now or in the akhira. -Some scholars say that human beings can suppress their guilt, however , we human beings do feel this guilt at some point of time. This can be said as the natural disposition of human beings. And, this is what Allah swt swear upon on. ************************************ Al-Qiyaama : 3 أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ Does man think that We will not assemble his bones? Al-Qiyaama : 4 بَلٰى قٰدِرِينَ عَلٰىٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips. Explanation: Its like Allah saying, You Quraish, assume that we will not assemble your bone. We are capable to even to assemble your fingertips which is more intricate. Even in our daily life, we can see that our fingers will beautifully heal by itself if there is wound etc. Will be continued in Part 2, In Shaa Allah
