5. Revelation History
According to Quraniccommentators, the chapter is a Meccan sura, that is, it
was revealed during the Meccan period of Muhammad's prophethood. Some
commentators, although not in the majority, argue that part of it was revealed
during the Medinan period. Some of such commentators maintain that verses
39–40 are the verses that was from the Medinan period, while some say 81–82,
and others say 83

6. It says that when Had rat Umar entered his sister's house, SurahTa Ha
was being recited. Hearing his voice the people of the house hide the
pages of the Qur'an. Hadrat Umar first seized his brother-in-law and
then his sister rose in defense of her husband, he hit her also and
wounded her on the head.When Umar saw blood on his sister, he was
sorry for what he had done, and said to her: "Show me the manuscript
that you have concealed so that I may see what it contains."The sister
said: "You are unclean because of your polytheism: "Only a clean
person can touch it." So, Hadrat Umar rose and washed himself, and
then took up the manuscript to read it.This shows that Sarah Al-
Waqi'ah had been sent down by that time for it contains the verse: La
yamassu hu ill al mutahharun; and it had been established historically
that Hadrat Umar embraced Islam after the first migration to Habash,
in the fifth year of the Prophethood.

7. The Event
‫ذ‬ِ‫إ‬ ِ‫يم‬ِ‫ح‬‫ه‬‫ر‬‫ال‬ ِ‫ن‬ َٰ‫م‬ْ‫ح‬‫ه‬‫ر‬‫ال‬ ِ ‫ه‬‫اَّلل‬ ِ‫م‬ ْ‫س‬ِ‫ب‬ِِ َََ ‫ا‬‫ة‬ََِ‫ا‬‫و‬ْ‫ال‬
When the Event will come to pass .That which
causes something or somebody to rise and to fall.
The earth will suddenly shake with a terrible shaking
it will not be a local earthquake that may occur in a
restricted area, but it will shake the whole earth to
its depths all of a sudden.The mountains will
crumble and it will scatter abroad into fine dust.

8. Afterlife
The afterlife is referred to as life after death or the hereafter.
Some belief systems, such as Abrahamic tradition that the dead go to a
specific plane of existence after death, as determined by God, or other
divine judgment, based on their actions or beliefs during life.
Abrahamic religions
 Judaism
 Christianity
 Islam
In other popular views, the individual may be reborn into this world and
begin the life cycle over again, likely with no memory of what they have
done in the past. In this latter view, such rebirths and deaths may take
place over and over again continuously until the individual gains entry to a
spiritual realm or Otherworld.
This view follow by Hinduism

9. The Day of
Recompense
Allah tells us what the disbeliever will say on the Day of
Resurrection, how they will blame themselves and admit
that they wronged themselves in this world.When they see
the horrors of the Day of Resurrection with their own eyes,
they will be filled with regret at the time when regret will
not avail them anything.

better grade and status and nearer toAllah than

They are fewer than those on the right side; so Allah
said,

17. Creation of Human
Many times in the Quran,Allah draws our attention to the
way we were created.
Allah mentions how man was created from nothing but a
microscopic sperm, which is not even visible, and yet he
grows into a creature who argues about the very being
that created Him from this miniscule little drop of fluid –
he disputes aboutAllah, His attributes, or any other
aspect of Islam, to avoid submitting to Him – the Creator
who not just created him, but also gave him provision
since day one to make him grow, acquire a physical form,
then be blessed with sight, hearing, and intellect

18. The Qur’anic verses that mention plants, trees and fruits
are there to encourage people to think about Allah’s
creation and to help them reach a level of faith based on
conviction.These verses also remind people ofAllah’s
blessings and the need to thank Him for what He has
offered them. Allah says, “Then let mankind look at his
food. HowWe poured down water in torrents,ThenWe
broke open the earth, splitting And caused to grow
within it grain And grapes and herbage, And olive and
palm trees, And gardens of dense shrubbery, And fruit
Plants' creations

19. We sent down water from the sky, blessed water whereby We
caused to grow gardens, grains for harvest, tall palm-trees
with their spathes, piled one above the other – sustenance for
(Our) servants.Therewith We gave (new) life to a dead land.
So will be the emergence
The water cycle in the Quran

20. Fire
It is the creation of fire which is the most significant means
of human life and the most effective means in all industries.
‫ه‬‫ال‬ ‫ار‬‫ه‬‫ن‬‫ال‬ ‫م‬‫ت‬ْ‫ي‬‫أ‬‫ر‬‫ف‬‫أ‬‫َن‬‫ور‬ُ ِ‫ت‬
