Surah Al-Ma’ārij

Al-Ma’ārij means the ways to come up to Allah SWT (the ascent to Allah).

Allah owns and controls those ways that you can go up to Him.

Theme: the day of judgement.

#YQGems

Surah Al-Ma’ārij contains one of the earliest descriptions of what it means to be a pious person.

Man was created restless and impatient. Went touched by adversity he becomes fretful. When good comes to him he becomes ungenerous and stingy.

#YQGems

The pious people:

Those who:
- are constant in their prayer
- whose wealth has a share given unto the poor
- affirm the day of judgement
- guard their chastity
- honour their trust
- stand by their testimonies
- dedicated to prayer

Allah begins and end with prayer!

#YQGems

Piety brings a sense of calmness to our lives. Piety with Allah SWT makes life easier.

#YQGems

Surah Al-Ma’ārij concludes with saying:

Now that We have done Our warning, let them play, let them blunder about until the meet that day they have been promised.
