Surah Zalzalah

このSurahはマディーナで明らかになったし、それが8 ayaatを持っています。

This Surah was revealed in Madinah and it has 8 ayaat. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) that whoever recites this Surah in his nawafil (recommended) prayers will not die as a result of an earthquake and will be saved from all the natural calamities.

The experience of death is made easy for the one who recites this Surah and he sees the light of Jannah as he is about to die. Then, seventy thousand angels accompany his soul to the heavens. Keeping this Surah in one’s possession is a safety from tyrant rulers.

The Holy Prophet Mohammed ﷺ has greatly emphasized on reading this highly Blessed Interval of the Holy Quran because of its great status in terms of reminding one about the Occasion of Final Outcome. Narrated by Abdullah Ibn Abbas (R.A):

“Whoever recites Surah Zalzalah (99th chapter of Quran) will get the reward of reciting half the Qur’an.” (Tirmidhi)

Although this Chapter is short, yet it is highly comprehensive in its content and possesses great significance in lives of the believers. The greatest reward of this chapter is that Prophet Mohammed ﷺ has regarded its recitation equal to that of half of the Sacred Book.

In short, Surah Zalzalah is an extremely revered subdivision of the Holy Quran which not only reminds one about the short-term nature of life on earth but also results in receiving great blessings of Allah SWT.
