In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Surah Mudassir (Arabic ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ) is the 74th surah (chapter) of The Beautiful Quran. The name of Surat‘’Al Mudassir’’ means The One Wrapping Himself up or the man who is wearing the cloak. It consists of 56 ayaats and was revealed in the city of Makkah, so it is called Makki surat. This surat is present in para/juz 29. The term al-muddaththir in the opening verse ( ‘‘يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ“) is where the Surah gets its name. Moreover, this is simply an identification of the subject matter—not a title.
According to some Hadith from Jabir bin Abdullah that is recorded in Bukhari, Muslim, and Musnad Ahmad, these are the very first verses of the Quran to be revealed. However, Muslims universally accepted the first five verses of Sureh 96: Al-Alaq as the earliest revelation to the Prophet. But reliable hadith affirm that the Prophet did not receive any more revelations for a while after this first one. When it was continued, the verses of Mudassir surah were read first.
