This document provides a summary of the prefixed letters (Huroof ul Muqatta'at) that appear at the beginning of some chapters in the Quran. It discusses how these letters are related to attributes of Allah, themes of the chapters, and words and concepts within the chapters. As an example, it analyzes the connections between the letter Qaf, which prefixes Surah 50, and various attributes of Allah like Al-Qayyum and Al-Qadir. It also lists many words from the surah that contain the letter Qaf, like Quran, to demonstrate the relationships. The purpose is to explain how these mysterious letters are meaningfully linked to the chapters they preface.

• The significance of this is linguistically clear:
• The Letter Qaf has historical, Phonological, thematic and
semantic connection with the different subjects put
together in the surah Qaf.
62. CONCLUSIONS
• The letter Qaf is historically related to death in the Arabic language. Kohe Qaf
• It is biologically related to death as the last sounds and the jugular vein.
• The letter is uttered closer to the jugular vein : the departing soul’s last
abode.
• Allah’s names related with Qaf point to the desired qualities related to Qaf.
• The phrases and sentences in the surah and surah Qiyamah point to this fact.
• The whole surah is replete with this theme.
• The whole Qur’an points to the end of man which has to be taken care of.
