Aṭ-Ṭûr (Surah 52)

Introduction

This Meccan sûrah takes its name from verse 1, where Allah swears by Mount Ṭûr, among other things, that the Day of Judgment is inevitable. The punishment of those skeptical of judgment is described, followed by a detailed description of the reward of the believers along with their offspring (verses17-28). Atheism is also rejected (verses 25-36). The Prophet (ﷺ) is reassured of Allah’s support, while the pagan beliefs and arguments are refuted both in this sûrah and the next. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
