Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Light of the Holy Qur'an Interpretation Of( Insan and Mursalat and Naba ) Sura Insan (human) No.76 (31 Verses) In The Name Of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful (The Arabic meaning of 'Insan' is 'Human'.

In the English language the words 'Mankind' and 'Man' are also used for 'Human' and we have used 'Man' in the text.) Contents of the Sura: In spite of its brevity, this Sura presents a deep, varied and comprehensive theme which can be divided into five sections: Man's creation from a drop of mingled sperm; his guidance and his free-will. 2.The reward offered to the Righteous abrar (This part has a special occasion for its revelation in relation to the household of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) , ie.

Ahlul-Bait; which will be discussed at a later point.) The merits which cause one to deserve the rewards. The importance of The Qur'an, the manner of conducting its principles and the demanding road of self-perfection. The dominance of Allah's Will (even though man has limited free-will) . There are different titles for this Sura.

The most famous are "MAN" (Insan) , "TIME" (Dahr) and "HAS THERE COME" (Hal-ata) ; each of which is taken from one of the words at the beginning of the Sura; however, in the traditions we will discuss, here, about the virtue of the Sura, only Hal-ata is mentioned. Was the Sura revealed In Medina? The consensus of scholars and commentators is that all or at least part of the beginning verses, which explain the position or dignity of the Righteous and their good deeds, were revealed in Medina.

The occasion of revelation about them, that is, the story of Ali, Fatima, Hassan, Hosain (P.B.U.TH.) and Fezza (their house-helper) ; and their vows, will be explained in detail at the appropriate time.

From among the famous scholars, we can mention Qartabi the well-known commentator who points out: " The consensus of scholars believe that the Sura has been revealed in Medina."(1) In addition to this, we can also mention the following: Hakim Ab-aI-Qasim Haskani has, in detail, quoted from Ibn-Abbas the number of verses, which were separately revealed in Mecca and Medina. He has considered it as a Medinan Sura which has been revealed after Sura Al-Rahman and before Sura Al-Taha .(2) Prof.

Ahmad Zahid, the writer of 'Idah', has also quoted the same from Ibn-Abbas.
