Sura Nabaa (The Great News) 78 (40 verses)
Sura Nabaa
(The Great News)
No. 78 (40 verses)
Contents of the Sura:
Most
of the verses of the last part of the Qur'an were revealed in Mecca. The nature
of these Suras is that they put emphasis on the Creation and the Resurrection,
furnished with glad tidings and warnings; usually in a shocking and awakening
tone. All the verses of the Suras, except a few, are short and full of
implications. For the same reason, they affect, deeply, on any conscious person
and they awaken some of the unaware, too. They give spirit to dead-like
people and make the indifferent ones feel responsibility. On the whole, they
have a specific case and an enthusiastic world of their own, full of
enlightenment and attraction.
Sura
Nabaa is not an exception to this general principle. It begins with an
awakening question, and ends with a wonderful sentence full of warning.
The
contents of the Sura can be divided into several parts:
The question that is
stated in the first verse about the "Great News" /naba'-in-azim/
or the Hereafter.
Examples of the types
of Divine Power in the Heavens and on Earth, and also of men's lives and
their gifts as evidences to the possibility of the Resurrection and the
Hereafter.
Preliminary signs of
the Resurrection.
Reference to the
painful chastisement of the transgressors.
The encouraging gifts
and blessings of Heaven.
Finally, the Sura ends
with some intensive warnings about the dreadful punishment, and then, the
sad destiny of the Unbelievers.
The
name of the Sura, Nabaa, is taken from its second verse, but sometimes it is
called /'amma/ which is the first word in the first verse.
The Virtue In Studying SuraNabaa:
There
is a tradition from the Prophet (p.b.u.h) which says: "He who studies Sura Nabaa
will be satiated, by Allah, with a cold drink in Heaven".
Another
tradition from Imam Sadiq says: "He who continues studying Sura Nabaa,
everyday, will meet the Holy Shrine at Mecca (Kaaba) before the year ends".
[2]
Again,
another tradition from the Prophet (p.b.u.h) says: "He who studies it (Sura Nabaa)
and learns it by heart, on the Day of Judgment, his reckoning will be concluded
(so quickly) equal to the same length of time it takes to say a single prayer".
