(Arabic: سورة الانشقاق) (The Sundering, Splitting Open).
It is derived from the word inshaqqat which means to split asunder, thereby implying that it is the Surah in which mention has been made of the splitting asunder of the heavens. It is the 84th surah of the Qur'an with 25 ayaat.
This is one of the earliest Surahs to be revealed at Makkah. The people were refusing to believe that the Resurrection would take place. Thus this surah was revealed confirming it's occurrence.
THEME AND SUBJECT MATTER
⚡Its theme is the Resurrection and Hereafter. In the first five ayaah, not only have the state of Resurrection been described vividly but an argument of its being true and certain also have been given. It has been stated that the heavens on that Day will split asunder, the earth will be spread out plain and smooth, and it will throw out whatever lies inside it of the dead bodies of men and evidences of their deeds so as to become completely empty from within.
The argument given for it is that such will be the Command of their Lord for the heavens and the earth; since both are His creation.
⚡Then, from ayah 6-19 it has been said that whether man Is conscious of this fact or not, he will appear and stand before his Lord.At that time all human beings will divide into two parts:
Those whose records will be given in their right hands: they will be forgiven without any severe reckoning;
Those whose records will be given them behind their back. They will wish that they should die somehow, but they will not die; instead they will be cast into Hell.
They will meet with this fate because in the world they remained lost in the misunderstanding that they would never have to appear before Allah to render an account of their deeds.
⚡Their punishments in the Hereafter was as certain as the appearance of twilight after sunset, the coming of the night after the day, the returning of men and animals to their respective abodes at night, and the growing of the crescent into full moon.
In conclusion, the disbelievers who repudiate the Qur'an instead of bowing down to Allah when they hear it, have been forewarned of a grievous punishment and the good news of limitless rewards has been given to the believers and the righteous.
