 78.33

(“and full-breasted of equal age”.

The word kawā‘ib comes from the root k–‘–b, which conveys the idea of something rising or becoming prominent. In classical Arabic usage, it refers to young women whose bodies have reached maturity—often described as having developed physical features associated with youth and vitality.

The word atrābā means “of equal age” or “well-matched in age.” The root relates to similarity and correspondence, suggesting harmony, compatibility, and balance among them.)

79.37-41

Maka adapun orang yang melampaui batas, dan lebih mengutamakan kehidupan dunia, maka sungguh, nerakalah tempat tinggalnya.

Dan adapun orang-orang yang takut kepada kebesaran Tuhannya dan menahan diri dari hawa nafsunya, maka sungguh, surgalah tempat tinggal.

79.45-46

Engkau hanyalah pemberi peringatan bagi siapa yang takut kepadanya.

Pada hari ketika mereka melihat hari Kiamat itu, mereka merasa seakan-akan hanya tinggal pada waktu sore atau pagi hari.

80.26

(On a physical level, it refers to how soil cracks and opens to allow seeds to sprout. A dry, compact الأرض becomes broken apart, making growth possible.)

82.7-8

yang telah menciptakanmu lalu menyempurnakan kejadianmu dan menjadikanmu seimbang, dalam bentuk apa saja yang dikehendaki, Dia menyusun tubuhmu.

(“Who created you, then proportioned you, then balanced you; in whatever form He willed, He assembled you.”

from mere creation, to shaping, to precise proportioning. It points not only to the physical body—its symmetry, upright posture, and coordinated structure—but also, in some interpretations, to the inner faculties like عقل (intellect) and discernment.

each human is put together in a specific form chosen by God—whether in terms of physical appearance, traits, or even resemblance to parents.

Some tafsir works mention that this includes variation among people: differences in height, complexion, features, and other characteristics. Others extend it to the hidden aspects—temperament, capacities, and predispositions. The verse, then, invites reflection on both uniformity (all humans are proportioned and balanced) and diversity (each is uniquely assembled).

(Classical tafsir doesn’t deny that life includes uneven distributions: beauty, wealth, health, and status are all given in different measures. They are often framed as tests rather than rewards in themselves. Beauty can bring its own trials—vanity, exploitation, pressure—just as lack of it can bring hardship.)

82.10-11

Dan sesungguhnya bagi kamu ada yang mengawasi. yang mulia dan yang mencatat. mereka mengetahui apa yang kamu kerjakan.

83.1-6

Celakalah bagi orang-orang yang curang. orang-orang yang apabila menerima takaran dari orang lain mereka minta dicukupkan. dan apabila mereka menakar atau menimbang mereka mengurangi. Tidakkah mereka itu mengira, bahwa sesungguhnya mereka akan dibangkitkan, pada suatu hari yang besar, pada hari semua orang bangkit menghadap Tuhan seluruh alam.

83.26

laknya dari kasturi. Dan untuk yang demikian itu hendaknya orang berlomba-lomba.

83.29

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang berdosa adalah mereka yang dahulu menertawakan orang-orang yang beriman.

83.34

Maka pada hari ini, orang-orang yang beriman yang menertawakan orang-orang kafir

84.12-14

Dan dia akan masuk ke dalam api yang menyala-nyala. Sungguh, dia dahulu bergembira di kalangan keluarganya.Sesungguhnya dia mengira bahwa dia tidak akan kembali. 

84.19

(The wording is compact but very expressive. The verb “la-tarkabunna” comes from rakiba, which literally means “to ride” or “to mount.” In usage like this, it conveys the idea of entering into or being carried through successive conditions.

The choice of the verb “to ride” is subtle—it suggests that a person is not fully in control of these transitions. They are taken through them, whether they resist or not.)

87.3

(“And who determined, then guided.”

The verb “qaddara” comes from the root q–d–r, which carries the sense of measuring, determining, assigning proportion or decree. It implies that everything is given a precise measure—its form, its capacity, its limits, and its role.

Then comes “fa-hadā”—“then He guided.” The root h–d–y means to guide, direct, or lead toward a مقصد (goal). functional guidance: how each part of creation fulfills its role)

87.9

oleh sebab itu berikanlah peringatan, karena peringatan itu bermanfaat

87.16

Sedangkan kamu memilih kehidupan dunia, padahal kehidupan akhirat itu lebih baik dan lebih kekal.

88.1

(The word “al-Ghāshiyah (الغاشية)” comes from the root gh–sh–y (غ-ش-ي), which carries the meaning of:

to cover, to envelop, to overwhelm

to come over something so completely that it is concealed or engulfed

The form “ghāshiyah” is an active participle, meaning “that which covers/overwhelms.”

its horrors and events will cover and engulf humanity

its reality will overwhelm all previous assumptions and denials

no one can remain untouched by it)

88.8

Pada hari itu banyak wajah yang berseri-seri, merasa senang karena usahanya.

88.21

Maka berilah peringatan, karena sesungguhnya engkau  hanyalah pemberi peringatan.

89.2-3

demi malam yang sepuluh. demi yang genap dan yang ganjil,

(Many hold that these are the first ten nights of Dhul-Hijjah, which are considered especially sacred in Islamic tradition, associated with pilgrimage. Others interpret them as the last ten nights of Ramadan, known for their spiritual intensity and for containing Laylat al-Qadr.

From the 1st to the 7th, pilgrims are generally arriving in Mecca, entering into the state of ihram (depending on their Hajj type), and preparing physically and spiritually. They may perform tawaf and sa‘i, but these days are largely preparatory, not the core rites yet.

The 8th of Dhul-Hijjah is the first major turning point. It is known as Yawm at-Tarwiyah (the Day of Quenching/Preparation). On this day, pilgrims formally begin the main Hajj sequence by going to Mina and spending the day and night there. This marks the transition from preparation to the actual structured rites of Hajj.

The most significant moment comes on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, known as the Day of ‘Arafah. Pilgrims gather at the plain of Arafah in a state of supplication and reflection.

Then comes the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, the day of Eid al-Adha.)

87.7-13

penduduk Iram yang mempunyai bangunan-bangunan yang tinggi, yang belum pernah dibangun seperti itu di negeri-negeri lain,

dan kaum samud yang memotong batu-batu besar di lembah

dan Fir‘aun yang mempunyai pasak-pasak

yang berbuat sewenang-wenang dalam negeri, lalu mereka banyak berbuat kerusakan dalam negeri itu, karena itu Tuhanmu menimpakan cemeti azab kepada mereka

(The word “awtād” (plural of watad) refers to stakes, pegs, or firmly driven posts—things that are hammered into the ground to hold something in place.

One interpretation is that it refers to instruments of punishment. Some reports describe Pharaoh as using stakes to torture people—driving them into the ground or tying victims to them. In this reading, the phrase highlights his cruelty and oppression.

Another interpretation is more symbolic: it refers to the strength and stability of his kingdom. Just as stakes hold a structure firmly in place, Pharaoh’s rule was seen as deeply entrenched—supported by armies, power, and infrastructure.

A third view connects it to large constructions—like massive buildings, tents, or monuments—held up or stabilized by such “stakes.” This again points to power, organization, and material dominance.)

89.15-20

Maka adapun manusia, apabila Tuhan mengujinya lalu memuliakannya dan memberinya kesenangan, maka dia berkata, “Tuhanku telah memuliakanku.” Namun apabila Tuhan mengujinya lalu membatasi rezekinya, maka dia berkata, “Tuhanku telah menghinaku.”

Sekali-kali tidak! 

Bahkan kamu tidak memuliakan anak yatim, dan kamu tidak saling mengajak memberi makan orang miskin, sedangkan kamu memakan harta warisan dengan cara mencampurbaurkan, dan kamu mencintai harta dengan kecintaan yang berlebihan.

(The key word repeated in both verses is “ibtalāhu”—He tests him. Both situations—ease and hardship—are explicitly called tests.

When given wealth, comfort, or status → he assumes it means honor. When deprived or constrained → he assumes it means humiliation.

Ease is not proof of divine favor. Hardship is not proof of divine rejection. Both are forms of امتحان (trial).

The phrase “fa-qadara ‘alayhi rizqahu” in verse 16 means to restrict or limit provision. It does not mean total deprivation, but a narrowing—less than what one might desire.

The verses are correcting a very human instinct: to judge one’s worth based on external conditions.

In reality, according to the Qur’anic worldview: A person may be given abundance as a test of gratitude and responsibility. A person may be given limitation as a test of patience and trust.

what you interpret as “honor” or “humiliation” may actually just be different forms of the same test.)

(A person passes the test when they do not see wealth, success, or comfort as proof of their own superiority. Instead, they see it as something entrusted to them. This is why arrogance is treated as a failure of the test.

there is responsibility toward others. If you look at the continuation of the same passage (89:17–20), the Qur’an immediately criticizes people who fail to care for the orphan and do not encourage feeding the poor. This is not random—it is showing what failing the test of abundance looks like. Wealth that does not translate into concern for others is already a sign of imbalance.

there is detachment. A person may possess a great deal, yet not be possessed by it. When loss becomes unimaginable, or when identity is built entirely on status and comfort, the test is already slipping.)

90.11

tetapi dia tidak menempuh jalan yang mendaki dan sukar? 

Dan tahukah kamu apakah jalan yang mendaki dan sukar itu?

melepaskan perbudakan; atau memberi makan pada hari terjadi kelaparan, anak yatim yang ada hubungan kerabat, 

atau orang miskin yang sangat fakir.

Kemudian dia termasuk orang-orang yang beriman dan saling berpesan untuk bersabar dan saling berpesan untuk berkasih sayang.

(“dhā matrabah” is very vivid.

“matrabah” comes from the root t–r–b, meaning dust or earth. “dhā matrabah” literally means “one covered in dust” or “one belonging to the dust.

So the phrase paints an image: someone so poor and destitute that they are lying on the ground, with nothing between them and the dust—no shelter, no protection, no dignity in worldly terms.

this is not just any poor person, but one in extreme deprivation—someone whose condition is visibly harsh and humbling.

the Qur’an is not speaking abstractly about charity. It is directing attention to the most vulnerable cases, the people society is most likely to overlook.)

92.11

dan hartanya tidak bermanfaat baginya apabila dia telah binasa.

93.3-5

Tuhanmu tidak meninggalkan engkau dan tidak membencimu. dan sungguh, yang kemudian itu lebih baik bagimu dari yang permulaan. Dan sungguh, kelak Tuhanmu pasti memberikan karunia-Nya kepadamu, sehingga engkau menjadi puas.

93.7-11

dan Dia mendapatimu sebagai seorang yang bingung, lalu Dia memberikan petunjuk. dan Dia mendapatimu sebagai seorang yang kekurangan, lalu Dia memberikan kecukupan.

Maka terhadap anak yatim janganlah engkau berlaku sewenang-wenang.

Dan terhadap orang yang meminta-minta janganlah engkau menghardik.

Dan terhadap nikmat Tuhanmu hendaklah engkau nyatakan

(The verb “tanhar” comes from a root meaning to scold harshly, rebuke, or drive someone away. It is not just refusal—it implies harshness and humiliation in the response. So the verse is not simply saying “give to everyone,” but rather: do not respond with harsh rejection.

Scholars also note that even if a person cannot give materially, they should still respond with gentleness—a kind word, a respectful refusal, or guidance.

Someone who asks—whether for money, help, or knowledge—is already in a position of need. The Qur’an is prohibiting adding emotional harm to that situation. So the test is not only whether you give, but how you treat people when they are vulnerable in front of you.

The command in Surah Ad-Duha (93:10) is not “give to everyone no matter what,” but “do not repel the one who asks.” Those are different things.

If you cannot give, the test shifts from giving to how you refuse. You may be unable to solve their problem—but you are still responsible for not adding to it.)

(The verb “fa-ḥaddith” comes from ḥaddatha, meaning to speak about, to mention, to make known. it is about making نعمة visible through gratitude, humility, and how you treat others.)

94.5-6

Maka sesungguhnya beserta kesulitan ada kemudahan, sesungguhnya beserta kesulitan itu ada kemudahan.

(“al-‘usr” (the hardship) comes with the definite article → a specific hardship. “yusrā” (ease) comes in an indefinite form → an ease, or multiple forms of ease.

The verse does not say “after hardship comes ease”, but “with hardship comes ease”. It implies: ease is not always delayed to the future. it may exist alongside the difficulty, even if it is not immediately visible. This could be in different forms—support, resilience, insight, opportunities, or eventual relief—but the idea is that hardship is never isolated.)

94.7-8

Maka apabila engkau telah selesai, tetaplah bekerja keras. 

dan hanya kepada Tuhanmulah engkau berharap.

95.4

Sungguh, Kami telah menciptakan manusia dalam bentuk yang sebaik-baiknya

96.1

Bacalah dengan nama Tuhanmu yang menciptakan. Dia telah menciptakan manusia dari segumpal darah.

Bacalah, dan Tuhanmulah Yang Mahamulia, Yang mengajar dengan pena. Dia mengajarkan manusia apa yang tidak diketahuinya.

(“khalaqa al-insāna min ‘alaq” — created man from a clinging substance

The word “‘alaq” refers to something that clings—often understood as a clot or early embryonic form. The effect is deliberate: it contrasts the act of reading and knowledge with a humble biological beginning.

So the human being is: intellectually elevated (commanded to read), yet physically humble in origin

The mention of the pen (qalam) is significant. It represents:

writing. preservation of knowledge. transmission across generations. this is seen as a reference to one of the greatest tools given to humanity—the ability to record and accumulate knowledge.)

96.9-19

Bagaimana pendapatmu tentang orang yang melarang; seorang hamba ketika dia melaksanakan salat.

bagaimana pendapatmu jika dia berada di atas kebenaran; 

atau dia menyuruh bertakwa? Bagaimana pendapatmu jika dia  itu mendustakan dan berpaling?

Tidakkah dia mengetahui bahwa sesungguhnya Allah melihat? Sekali-kali tidak! Sungguh, jika dia tidak berhenti niscaya Kami tarik ubun-ubunnya. ubun-ubun orang yang mendustakan dan durhaka.

Maka biarlah dia memanggil golongannya. Kelak Kami akan memanggil Malaikat Zabaniyah.

sekali-kali tidak! Janganlah kamu patuh kepadanya; dan sujudlah serta dekatkanlah.

100.8

dan sesungguhnya cintanya kepada harta benar-benar berlebihan.

101.1

(The word “qāri‘ah (القارعة)” comes from the root q–r–‘ (ق-ر-ع). This root carries the basic meaning of: to strike, knock, or hit forcefully;  especially a blow that produces a loud, sudden sound

From this root, Arabic words can refer to: knocking on a door

; striking something so it resounds; an impact that demands attention

The form “qāri‘ah” is an active participle, meaning: “that which strikes forcefully” or “that which hits repeatedly or intensely.”

al-Qāri‘ah refers to the Day of Judgment, but not just as an event—it describes how it will be experienced:

it will strike people suddenly

it will shake and shatter what seemed stable

it will hit the senses—like a loud, overwhelming blow)

102.1

Bermegah-megahan telah melalaikan kamu

104.1

Celakalah bagi setiap pengumpat dan pencela, yang mengumpulkan harta dan menghitung-hitungnya, dia mengira bahwa hartanya itu dapat mengekalkannya

(“humazah” comes from the root h–m–z, which carries the sense of poking, prodding, or attacking indirectly. In usage, it refers to someone who: criticizes or mocks others. often does so behind their back. uses subtle or indirect forms of insult (gestures, hints, tone)

“lumazah” comes from l–m–z, meaning to slander, defame, or speak ill openly. It suggests: verbal insults. direct mockery. tearing into someone’s reputation

humazah → behind-the-back, subtle, or indirect attacks

lumazah → direct, verbal, face-to-face attacks

The surah is addressing a social disease: tearing people down. This includes: gossip and backbiting. sarcasm meant to belittle. constant fault-finding. using words (or even gestures) to reduce others

The next verses connect this behavior to obsession with wealth and status, suggesting that such people often build themselves up by putting others down.)

107.1

Tahukah kamu, yang mendustakan agama?

Maka itulah orang yang menghardik anak yatim, dan tidak mendorong memberi makan orang miskin.

Maka celakalah orang yang salat, orang-orang yang lalai terhadap salatnya, yang berbuat ria, dan enggan bantuan.

(“sāhūn” means careless, neglectful, or inattentive.

In tafsir, this includes: delaying prayer without concern; performing it without presence or seriousness; treating it as a formality rather than something meaningful.

“yurā’ūn” comes from riyā’—doing acts of worship to be seen by others. So their prayer is not truly directed toward God, but toward people’s perception.

“al-mā‘ūn” refers to small acts of help or everyday kindness.

The idea is: they perform visible acts (like prayer), but refuse even the smallest unseen kindness.)

108.1-2

Sungguh, Kami telah memberimu nikmat yang banyak.

Maka laksanakanlah salat karena Tuhanmu, dan berkurbanlah.

109.6

(The verse establishes a principle in Islamic thought:

respect for clear boundaries of belief; recognition that religious truth is not negotiable, but coexistence can still exist in acknowledgment

the surah as a whole balances firmness in faith with avoidance of hostility. It is a model for responding to ideological differences: clear, unambiguous, and non-compromising in principle, yet without aggressive imposition.)

113

(Darkness is often a "cloak" for harm. Most crimes, predatory animals, and harmful spirits (Jinn) are more active at night.

Hasad (Envy) is the desire for a blessing to be taken away from someone else.Notice the verse says "when he envies"—this means the harm happens when that feeling of jealousy is actually triggered or acted upon.)
