Para 20 | Juz 20 - Complete: Surah An-Naml | Al-Qasas | Al-Ankabut (56-45)

Surah An-Naml

Surah An-Naml, also known as Surah al-Naml, is chapter 27 of the Quran and is titled "The Ant". It is believed to have been revealed to address the role of the "Children of Israel" in Mecca, to highlight the piety of past prophets, and to distinguish the Qur'anic message from past traditions.

The sura tells the stories of five prophets, Moses, David, Solomon, Salih, and Lot, and it gives good news to believers and warns polytheists. It also contrasts Allah's power to create and provide with the powerlessness of idols, and gives examples to pagans and warns of the horrors of the apocalypse. The sura's name comes from the story of Solomon understanding the conversations of ants. 

Some say that reciting the triple suras that begin with Ta Seen (Surah Ash-Shu'ara, An-Naml, and Qasas) in the night before Friday will make one a friend of Allah. 

Verse 62 of Surah An-Naml is believed to improve the love and affection between married couples, and to encourage mutual understanding, communication, and empathy. It is also considered effective in resolving conflicts and issues in marriages.

Surah Al-Qasas

Surah Al-Qasas, or "The Narratives", is chapter 28 of the Qur'an and has 88 verses in 9 sections. It is significant for a number of reasons, including:

• Removing doubts
• The surah's main theme is to remove doubts and objections about the prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad and to invalidate excuses for not believing in him.
• Promising victory
• The surah promises victory to believers who were a minority before migrating from Mecca to Medina and were facing difficult conditions during the Prophet's time.
• Telling the story of Moses
• The surah tells the story of Moses from his birth until his victory over Pharaoh.
• Reciting rewards
• According to a tradition of the holy Prophet, reciting Surah Al-Qasas will result in ten rewards, including an angel in the heavens and earth attesting to the reciter's rightfulness in the Hereafter

Surah Al-Ankabut  

Surah Al-Ankabut (The Spider) is the 29th chapter of the Quran and is significant for a number of reasons:

• It was revealed during a period of intense persecution of Muslims in Makkah, when Allah sent it to strengthen and encourage sincere Muslims, and to warn disbelievers
• It addresses questions that young men faced when their parents urged them to abandon Islam
• It discusses topics such as faith, a man's duty, divine trial, the history of some prophets, and relying on others besides Allah
• It states that Nuh, Ibrahim, Lut, Shuaib, Hud, Saleh, Musa, and Muhammad were all prophets of God who endured hardships
• It is named after the spider, whose web is strong in proportion to its weight, similar to how Allah used the spider to save the prophet when they were in a cave
