Quran 19 para consists of three sections:
Surah Al-Furqan (remaining portion)
Ash-Shu’ara surah (complete)
Surah An-Naml (initial portion)
Para 19 quran start with remaining part of the al furqan surah. Surah Al-Furqan continues in para 19, discussing topics such as the Day of Judgment, monotheism (tawheed), prophethood (risalat), and the qualities of righteous servants of the Most Merciful (Ebad-ur-Rahman).
The name “Al-Furqan“ for this surah is derived from its theme of distinguishing between truth and falsehood. Surah Al-Furqan addresses key topics including belief in one God, the Day of Judgment, the concept of prophethood, and the struggle against idolatry. Towards its conclusion, the surah highlights the characteristics of sincere believers.
The surah furqan employs a dual approach in responding to the disbelievers’ objections. Firstly, it uses argumentation by recounting stories of past communities as warnings. Secondly, it urges them to use reason and observe the signs in nature, which point to the existence of their Creator. So, why will you not believe?
In Juz 19, Surat al-Shuara recounts the period when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ tirelessly propagated Islam in Makkah, yet only a few embraced his message while opposition intensified. Despite this, he continued to earnestly pray for the people. The Quran narrates the experiences of seven prophets who faced rejection from their communities due to their teachings. The Surah emphasizes humanity’s historical pattern of disobedience. It vividly describes the moment when Moses’ staff miraculously countered the sorcery of his opponents. The Surah issues a compelling warning, urging people to reform and avoid the fate of past disobedient nations. The people of Thamud are admonished for their arrogance.
Surah An-Naml, (also known as Surah Sulayman) is named after the ant (naml) mentioned in the chapter. It recounts the narratives of five prophets: Moses, David, Sulayman, Saleh, and Lot. The surah warns polytheists and gives glad tidings to believers. It discusses the oneness of Allah and presents signs of monotheistic belief, along with events related to resurrection. Notably, Surah An-Naml contains two instances of the phrase “Bismillah hir-Rahmaanir-Raheem” (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful): the first at the beginning of the surah and the second in verse 30, where Sulayman letter to the Queen of Sheba (Bilqis) is mentioned.
