Surah Al-Insān

Insān is used in the first verse of the surah. This surah is also called Ad-Dahr(time) which is also used in the first verse.

Prophet SAWS would recite this Surah every Friday in Fajr salah in the second rakaat (Surah Sajdah recited in first rakaat).

Theme of Surah Al-Insān is to remind mankind to be thankful to Allah.

The surah starts: No one knew you would be here, of your existence. We were the ones who created you from a drop. Caused you to see and to hear. We showed you the path.
Be thankful or ungrateful.

Surah Al-Insān also lists the characteristics of the believers:

Those who feed their own food to others (even though they need it themselves).

When you do it, you do not need to get thanks from others. You are doing it for the sake of Allah.

#YQGems

Feeding the hungry is not PR for Islam, it is not even dawah for Islam. It IS Islam.

#YQGems

The earliest revelations, before even salah is made obligatory on the Muslims, Allah is saying go feed the hungry.

#YQGems

The people who reject Allah SWT, they only desire the temporary pleasures of this world, and they leave ahead of them a heavy day that they have to account for.

#YQGems

The conclusion of Surah Al-Insān:

This is a reminder so whoever wants to be guided to his Lord will be guided, but they will only be guided if Allah azzawajal wants them to be guided.
