Surah 78 Surah Naba (THE GREAT NEWS)
THE LINK BETWEEN SURAH NABA AND SURAH MURSALAAT
Surah Mursalaat makes it clear that Allaah’s promises will certainly come to pass. A part of these promises is the bounties that Allaah will shower on the pious people in the Aakhirah. The verses of Surah Naba mention many bounties that Allaah conferred on man in this very world. At the same time, man must not forget that he also suffers many adversities and difficulties. Allaah mentions these worldly bounties so that man’s attention is drawn to the fact that Allaah will also confer bounties to people in the Aakhirah. Of course, there will also be many who will have to suffer punishment in the Aakhirah as well, just as they have to suffer these in this world as well.
A SUMMARY OF THE SURAH
The first five verses reproach those Kuffaar who expressed doubt about the advent of Qiyaamah. Allaah says that these people will soon realise how wrong they are. In verses 6 to 16, Allaah recounts the various bounties that he has bestowed on man so that man realises that Allaah can grant him the bounties of the Aakhirah as well.
Verses 17 to 30 describe the frightful scene of Qiyaamah, beginning with the advent of Qiyaamah and ending when people will be cast into Jahannam. A description of the bounties to be received by the people of Jannah follows in verses 31 to 36.
“the Rabb of the heavens, the earth and whatever is between them and the Most Compassionate…” [verse 37]. This verse refers to concept of Towheed. It refutes the notion that any being can overrule Allaah’s decree. The closing two verses clearly mention that the advent of Qiyaamah is certain. Therefore, people should prepare themselves well before it occurs, otherwise they will be filled with regrets only.

Period of Revelation
This Surah was revealed during the early period of the Prophet’s residence at Makkah.
Major Issues, Divine Laws and Guidance
- Creation of the heavens, earth, mountains and vegetation clearly points out towards the Day of Judgement.
- Resurrection and man’s accountability in the court of Allah.
- The righteous will be well pleased, while the disbelievers will be put in hell where they will be treated with scalding water and decaying filth.
Theme
Its theme is to affirm the resurrection and hereafter, and to warn the people of the consequences of disbelieving it. When the Prophet (pbuh) first started to preach Islam at Makkah, his message consisted of three elements:
- That none be held as an associate with Allah in Godhead.
- That Allah had appointed him as His Messenger.
- This world will come to an end one day and then another world will be established when all the former and the latter generations will be resurrected with the same bodies in which they lived and worked in the world; then they will be called to account for their beliefs and deeds and those who emerge as believing and righteous in this accountability will go to paradise and those who are proved to be disbelieving and wicked will live in hell for ever.
Of these, the first item was highly unpleasant for the people of Makkah, they were not disbelievers in the existence of Allah. They believed in His Being the Supreme Sustainer, Creator and Providence and also admitted that all those beings whom they regarded as their deities, were themselves Allah’s creatures. Therefore, in this regard the only thing they disputed was whether they had any share in the attributes and powers of Divinity and in the Divine Being itself or not.
As for the second item, the people of Makkah were not prepared to accept it. However, what they could not possibly deny was that during the 40 year life the Prophet (pbuh) had lived amongst them before his claim to Prophethood, they had never found him lying or deceitful or one who would adopt unlawful methods for selfish ends.
As for the third thing, resurrection, they mocked it most and expressed unusual wonder at it, and regarding it as remote from reason and impossible. They talked about it as incredible, even inconceivable, in their assemblies. Therefore, reference is made to the common talk and the doubts that were being expressed in every street of Makkah and in every assembly of the people on hearing the news about Resurrection.
Then, the deniers have been asked: “Don’t you see this earth which We have spread as a carpet for you? Don’t you see the high mountains which we have so firmly placed in the earth? Don’t you consider your own selves how We have created you as pairs of men and women? Don’t you consider your sleep by which We make you seek a few hours rest after every few hours labor and toil so as to keep you fit for work in the world?
Don’t you see the alternation of the night and day which We are so regularly perpetuating precisely according to your needs and requirements?
Don’t you see the strongly fortified system of the heavens above you? Don’t you see the sun by means of which you are receiving your light and heat? Don’t you see the rains which fall from the clouds and help produce corn and vegetables and gardens? Do these things only tell you that the power of the Almighty Being Who has created them, will be unable to bring about Resurrection and establish the Next World?
Then, from the supreme wisdom which is clearly working in this world around you, do you only understand that although each function of it is for a purpose, life is yet meaningless? Nothing could be more absurd and meaningless, that man after being granted vast powers of appropriation in this world be let off without any accountability. He should neither be rewarded for satisfactory work, nor punished for unsatisfactory performance.
In conclusion, the Divine Court in the Hereafter has been depicted, making it plain that there will be no question of somebody’s being adamant in the matter of getting his followers and associates forgiven. None will speak without leave and leave for intercession will be given only for those who had acknowledged the Truth in the world; rebels of God and rejectors of the Truth will deserve no intercession at all.
