Day 347 · Surah Ath-Thariq Verses 1-17 and Al-A'la Verses 1-19

At-Tariq 1–17, Al-A'la 1–19

The process of human creation is made a gateway to understanding the Day when all secrets are revealed, then it is affirmed that the afterlife is better and eternal compared to this world which many people prioritize.

• The truth of the Day of Judgment can be understood through observation of human creation itself, and on that Day all secrets will be revealed and no one will be able to do anything.
• The Qur'an is described as a distinguisher between truth and falsehood, and the deception of the disbelievers against it will meet the deception of Allah sooner or later.
• The Messenger and his nation are commanded to purify the Name of Allah the Most High, who created mankind with perfection, determined his limits, and guided him.
• The Messenger's memorization of the Qur'an is guaranteed and made easy, while his task is only to convey; those who fear Allah accept it and those who turn away from it will be punished in Hellfire.
• Self-purification is called the key to success, dhikr and prayer the source of inner peace, while prioritizing this world over the afterlife has been explained in the pages of Ibrahim and Musa.

Verses 1-17 of Surah Ath-Thariq explain that to understand the truth of the Day of Judgment one can do so through observation of human creation. On the Day of Judgment all the secrets of mankind will be revealed and they will not be able to do anything. The Qur'an is a distinguisher between truth and falsehood. The disbelievers who devise deception against the Qur'an will face the deception of Allah, sooner or later.

Verses 1-15 of Surah Al-A'la explain that Allah commands the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his nation to purify His Most High Name, because He is the one who created mankind with perfection, in a certain state and gave them guidance. Allah guarantees and protects the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)'s memorization of the Qur'an and makes it easy. His task is to convey the Qur'an. Those who fear Allah will accept it and those who turn away from it will enter Hellfire and be punished in it. Self-purification (tazkiyat an-nafs) is the key to success. Remembrance of Allah and prayer are the source of inner peace.

Verses 16-19 of Surah Al-A'la explain that many people prioritize this world over the afterlife. Yet the afterlife is far better and eternal. Allah has explained this matter in revelations before the Qur'an, such as the Pages of Ibrahim and Musa.
