Prologue
Ina sifa ya aya fupi zenye mizani na mashairi, picha kali na maana zenye kuhamasisha, sura hii inapiga kama nyundo, mdundo wake ukilenga kufanya kila moyo wa binadamu utetemeke. Sura nzima inaonekana kuwa ni kitu kimoja kilichounganika, chenye mada kuu moja ambayo sehemu zake zote zimefungamana nayo: simulizi, tukio la Siku ya Kiyama, hatima ya jamii zilizotangulia, taswira yake ya ulimwengu, na mjadala wa moja kwa moja kuhusu upweke wa Mungu, ufufuo wa watu, na ujumbe wa Mungu.
Characterized by its short and rhyming verses, violent images and inspirational shades of meaning, this surah strikes like a hammer, its beat directed at making every human heart tremble. The entire surah appears to be a single whole, with one central theme to which all its elements are tied: the story the scene from the Day of Judgement, the fate of earlier communities, its depiction of the universe and the direct discussion of Gods oneness, people’s resurrection and God’s message.
