Surah Ad-Dukhān

Dukhān means a dusty cloud.

One of the signs of the day of judgement, the skies will be clouded by a massive cloud of smoke.

Main theme: to threaten those who reject the day of judgement and to convince them before it is too late.

#YQGems
One of two surahs in the Quran that explicitly mentions Laylatul Qadr (the best of course being Surah Qadr).

V.3-4

#YQGems
Allah calls Laylatul Qadr, Laylatul Mubarak. It has barakah. It is a blessed night. You do ibadah for one night and get the blessing of one thousand months. No night is more blessed.

#YQGems
Allah describes the rejectors of Islam (v.9) s as those who are playing around with their doubt.

Allah warns them, just wait in your doubts till the day comes (meaning the last day)

#YQGems
You do not live once. You live twice. This is our first life and we shall live again after we are resurrected in the hereafter.

#YQGems
The story of Musa and Firaun is mentioned. All of the might of the pharaoh and his people (considered to this day to be one of the highest civilizations mankind has ever known), so what? What happened to them? We caused another group to take it. #YQGems
Neither the heavens nor the earth wept when they left and they were given no second chance (re: pharaoh and his people).

#YQGems
We do not want the creation of Allah to rejoice when we leave this earth. We want them to remember us and pray for us.

#YQGems
For the believers: They will never taste death in Jannah because they have tasted it in this world. And they will be saved from the punishment of Jahannam.

Surah Adh-Dhāriyāt

Dhāriyāt means the scattering winds.

#YQGems
Allah describes the believers: they used to sleep very little at night, during the Dawn they would ask Allah for forgiveness, from their wealth they would always give a portion to the poor.

Religiosity is your rituals and your compassion to others.

#YQGems
The surah briefly mentions Ibrahīm and his guests and Lūt and Musa.

Then Allah azzawajal concludes the surah, We created this creation with power and We are indeed expanding it. And the Earth we spread it out, look how well we have prepared it.

#YQGems
Surah begins by listing the blessings of Allah, listing the mechanisms of how Allah has dominion over the entire creation, before criticizing those who have rejected and those who do not listen to the signs.

V.20 a deep theological verse responding to the argument of the disbelievers: Allah has willed us not to believe and is pleased with us.

There argument is that because something exists, it must mean Allah is pleased with it.
