Meaning: Those Who Pull Out
Total Ayahs: 46
Place of Revelation: Mecca
Surah An-Nazi'at opens with dramatic imagery of angels pulling out souls at death, then depicts the Resurrection—the earth shaking, former evildoers wishing to return to life to amend their ways. It recounts the story of Moses as assurance for the Prophet amid skepticism and ends with a potent reflection on the creation of humans from a point, challenging them to witness their own origin and eventual return.
Death is real, Resurrection is certain, and divine wisdom unfolds from our origins. Former nations and souls testify—believe beyond doubt.
Recitation builds awareness of mortality and eternal rest, fortifies resolve against wrongdoing, comforts in loss, elevates spiritual insight, and provides hopes anchored in divine remembrance.
79:1–5 (soul-departing angels); 79:15–26 (story of Moses and signs of creation).
Respond to divine reminders with humility; value your origin and destiny; live as one who knows every step is witnessed.
