Lessons In Test Surat ul-Haqqah, verses 1-12 Sins that will be a cause of Regret for its doer

Al-Haqqah (The Inevitable Day)! What is the Inevitable Day? EXPLAIN THE VERSE Al-Haqqah (The Inevitable Day)! What is the Inevitable Day? And how will you understand what the Inevitable Day is? (Surah Al-Haqqah, verses 1-3)

EXPLANATION The word al-Haaqqah as used in the verses mean an event which has inevitably to take place and the occurrence of which in the future is so certain as to admit of no doubt or suspicion. To use this word for Resurrection and to begin the discourse with it by itself shows that the people were denying its occurrence. They are being told: "That which you are denying is inevitable: your denial will not prevent its occurrence. The two questions asked in the verses, one after the other, have been put to arouse the listeners, to make them understand the importance of the message and listen to what follows with full attention. In this Surah, Allah named the Hour as Al-Haqqah (the Inevitable) and Al-Qari’ah (The Striker). Elsewhere in the Quran other names were given, like As-Saakhah (The Piercing cry), At-Tammah (The overwhelming), As-Sa’ah (the Hour), Al-Ghashiyah (The All-Covering), among other names. Each name of the Day of Judgement describes the terror and severity of this Great Day.

Cont… As the disbelievers of Makkah denied Resurrection and took the news of its coming lightly, they have been warned at the outset, as if to say: "Resurrection is inevitable: whether you believe in it; or not, it will in any case take place. It is impossible to understand how terrifying the Day of Judgement will be until we actually get there. The tone used in the first three verses of this Surah is trying to express this idea. The Day of Judgement (the Inevitable Day as mentioned in these verses) is when people are held accountable for their actions.

EXPLAIN THE VERSE “That We might make it (the stories of the past) a remembrance for you, and the keen ear may (hear and) understand it,”(69: 12)

God Almighty never willed to take vengeance, but the goal behind their being inflicted with torments is to lead people on the path of spiritual growth such that they tread the path of development and perfection and attainment to union with the desired object. A keen ear is such which is receptive of the content, hearing it consciously and taking in the message. It understands the message and reflects upon it. Describing it Qatadah said, “An ear that Allah gives intelligence, so it benefits by what it hears from Allah’s Book.” It implies any ear that hears the stories of past nations and takes heed. It does not forget the dreadful fate that the unbelievers met and what waits for them in the Hereafter. The entire Qur’an and its narrative of previous nations is a reminder which needs to be listened to attentively and memorized so that we do not face a similar fate. May Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala protect us from transgression, arrogance and disobedience, aameen.
