Surah Ha-Mim As-Sajdah belongs to the "Hawameem" group of surahs. Its two other names are "Surah Al-Masabih" and "Surah Al-Aqwat".
Its central theme is the affirmation of Tawheed, refutation of shirk, the truthfulness of the Quran, and belief in the Hereafter.
Reciting or hearing a verse of prostration (Ayat-e-Sajdah) makes prostration (Sajdah) obligatory.
Definition
The Quran is described as a Book revealed by the Most Merciful, Most Kind Allah — its verses explained in detail, revealed in Arabic, bringing glad tidings and warning for a people who know. It is also called a "Mighty Book" (Kitabun 'Aziz), which falsehood cannot approach from before it or behind it, since it is a revelation from the Wise, the Praiseworthy.
Definition
Allah alone is the Creator and Owner of the earth and everything in it; He fashioned the heavens as seven heavens in two days and revealed to each heaven its command; He placed firm mountains on the earth and apportioned provision for His creatures.
Definition
When the peoples of 'Aad and Thamud rejected Allah's messengers and turned rebellious, a severe windstorm was sent upon them as punishment. On the Day of Judgment, man's own ears, eyes, and skin will testify against him regarding the deeds he used to do in the world.
Definition
No speech is better than that of a person who invites people to Allah, does righteous deeds, and says, "I am indeed one of the Muslims." Such a preacher responds to evil with good, remains patient, and seeks Allah's refuge from Satanic whispers.
