Surah Fussilat

Fussilat means that which is perfectly explained.

This term is used to describe the Quran twice in the surah.

Main theme: to talk about the Quran.

The prophet SAWS recited surah Fussilat when one of the Quraish wanted to offer him a bribe. He wanted to offer him riches if only he would give up his religion. The Quraishi became flustered and agitated. This was something divine. This surah had an impact on him #YQGems

Allah describes how he created the creation and the stages of the creation in verses 9-12.

He mentions He told the heaven and the earth to cleft asunder and to come together and they obeyed the commandment of Allah SWT. #YQGems

He then describes a scene from the day of judgement. This is meant for the enemies of Allah but we should take it as a warning for ourselves so that no portion of it applies to us.

On that day the enemies of Allah shall be herded into the fire of hell.

Their eyes, their ears, their skins will all testify against them what they used to do. They will then ask their own skins, why did you testify against us? Their skins will respond to them, Allah azawajal made us speak. #YQGems

You never thought to hide your sins from your own skins! You never thought they would testify against you.

May we not be among these people. Aameen.

At the time of death, you will see angels. They will say, don’t be scared of what you are about to face, don’t worry about your family that you are leaving behind. We are your allies and protectors. We took care of you throughout and we will protect you on and on. #YQGems

The angels are a hospitality that Allah has provided to us. #YQGems
