Read it below, then recite it aloud and let Qiraa correct you word by word.
What Sūrat al-Furqān is about
Sūrat al-Furqān has 77 āyāt in the eighteenth and nineteenth juzʼ. It opens by blessing the One who sent down the Criterion, al-Furqān, to His servant, to be a warner to the worlds (25:1). It answers those who call it old tales and ask why a messenger eats food and walks in the markets (25:5–7).
The sūrah shows the shade stretched and drawn back, the night as a covering, the winds and pure water, and two seas kept apart by a barrier (25:45–53). It ends with a portrait of the servants of the Most Merciful: they walk humbly, answer the ignorant with peace, pray at night, spend in balance, and ask for spouses and children who are a comfort to their eyes (25:63–74).
- Āyāt 1–20
The Criterion and its deniers
Blessed is the One who sent down the Criterion. The deniers call it lies and old tales, and ask why the messenger eats food and walks in the markets. Every messenger before him also ate food and walked in the markets (25:20).
- Āyāt 21–34
My people abandoned this Qurʼān
The deniers ask why angels are not sent down. On the Day, the wrongdoer will bite his hands and wish he had taken the Messenger’s way (25:27). The Messenger will say his people abandoned this Qurʼān (25:30). It was sent in stages to make his heart firm (25:32).
- Āyāt 35–44
Peoples who did not learn
Mūsā (Moses) and Hārūn were sent to a people who denied, and that people was destroyed. So were the people of Nūḥ, ʿĀd, Thamūd and the people of ar-Rass (25:35–39). Some take their own desire as their god (25:43). Most of them do not hear or reason; they are like cattle, or further astray (25:44).
- Āyāt 45–62
Shade, night, wind and water
Allah stretches the shade and draws it back. He made the night a covering and sleep a rest. He sends the winds and pure water. He let two seas flow, one sweet and one salty, with a barrier between them (25:53). He placed constellations, a lamp and a shining moon in the sky (25:61).
- Āyāt 63–77
The servants of the Most Merciful
They walk humbly, answer the ignorant with peace, and spend the night in prayer. They are neither wasteful nor stingy. They do not call on other gods, kill unjustly, or commit adultery. For those who repent, Allah changes bad deeds into good (25:70). They pray for spouses and children who are a comfort to the eyes (25:74).
