In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Surah Al-Haaqqa is the 69th surah (chapter) of The Glorious Quran. Name of the surah means The Reality. It has 52 ayaat (verses) and was revealed in the holy city of Makkah i.e., before Prophet ﷺ migrated to the city of Medina. This surah can be found in juz / paara 29. Quick summary: Surah # 69 Meaning = The Reality No. of ayaat = 52 Revelation place = Makkah Revelation order = 78 Rukūʿ = 2 (Ayaah 37, 52) Hizb break(s) = 1 (Ayaah 1) Juz / paara = Juz 29 (Ayaat 1-52) Manzil (⅐ of Quran) = 7 Page # 794 - 797 Introduction: This Meccan sûrah refers to the destruction of the peoples of 'Âd, Thamûd, Pharaoh, and Lot ﷺ for denying the Hereafter. A reference is made to the apocalypse, followed by a touching description of the reward of the believers and the punishment of the disbelievers (verses 18-37). The pagan arguments against the Prophet ﷺ and the Qurʾān are thoroughly refuted (verses 38-52). The horrors of the apocalypse are further described in the next sûrah. Details from Tafheem-ul-Qurʾān: Name: The Surah takes its name from the word al-Haaqqah with which it opens. Period of Revelation: This too is one of the earliest surahs to be revealed at Makkah. Its subject matter shows that it was sent down at the time when opposition to the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) had started but had not yet become tyrannical. Musnad Ahmad contains a tradition from Hadrat Umar, saying: "Before embracing Islam one day I came out of my house with a view to causing trouble to the Holy Prophet, but he had entered the Masjid al-Haram before me. When I arrived I found that he was reciting surah Al-Haaqqah in the Prayer. I stood behind him and listened. As he recited the Qurʾān I wondered at its literary charm and beauty. Then suddenly an idea came to my mind that he must be a poet as the Quraish alleged. Just at that moment he recited the words: "This is the Word of an honourable Messenger: it is not the word of a poet." I said to myself: Then, he must be a soothsayer, if not a poet. Thereupon be recited the words:"Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little it is that you reflect. It is a Revelation from the Lord and Sustainer of the worlds. On hearing this Islam entered deep into my heart." This tradition of Hadrat Umar shows that this surah had been sent down long before his acceptance of Islam, for even after this event he did not believe for a long time, and he continued to be influenced in favour of Islam by different incidents from time to time, till at last in the house of his own sister he came by the experience that made him surrender and submit to the Faith completely.
