A Maccan sura with 99 verses. It starts with three letters / sounds. A L R. The Quran was sent down by God to make things clear for us and it is protected by Him. The creation of everything around us is for our benefit, the sky and its beauty , the earth and mountains. Sustenance is provided for us and for all the creatures. God created man from clay, and warned us of our enemy Satin/ iblis. ( God said, Devotion is a strait path to me) verse 41. And also ( tell my servants that I am the Forgiving the Merciful ) we then have stories / lessons from the past ; Ibrahim and a blessing of a son, then Lot and being saved from his people. The forest dwellers also rejected their messenger and were both wiped out at sunrise. There locations are both on the highway for the people of Makkah to see, a warning and a sign. The theme of the sura is in verse 85 ( We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them without a true purpose). A life lesson ; If you have a sad heart then the solution is in glorifying God and being grateful to him. ( repeat : Subhan Allah, Alhamdulilah) and be among those who bow down to God. Strength and power is in the last verses. (Worship your lord , until what is certain comes to you). Wawoo. What an ending to the sura, I find it gives me strength in my day when I read/ listen to the Quran. (As if there is a light that fills my body). Remember God is enough for you against anything you are going through , have faith in him, do good in this world , make the best of the situations that you are in ;jobs or studies, be the best versions of yourself , for everything is recorded. A life lesson that I take from this sura, when I’m sad or with a heavy heart to repeat words of glory to God and gratitude it really helps. Thank you God for everything , the good and the not so good , I’m sure there is a message to learn from it. Subhan Allah , God bless you All. 💐
