Introduction โ from Tafheem-ul-Quran
An early-Makkan surah the Prophet ๏ทบ often recited in Fajr and on Eid. It answers the wonder of the deniers โ 'When we are dead and turned to dust, shall we return?' โ with Allah's nearness ('We are nearer to him than his jugular vein'), the recording angels, and the day the earth splits open from them, hastening forth.
Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
