13. Surah Ar-Rad (The Thunder) is the 13th chapter of the Qur'an, containing 43 verses. It takes its name from Verse 13, which describes the thunder glorifying Allah. The chapter serves as a powerful discourse on divine truth, cosmic order, and human psychology under trial.

This chapter is known for its soaring rhythmic style, cosmic imagery, and deeply emotional accounts of the ancient prophets.

38. Surah Sad (سورة ص) is the 38th chapter of the Qur'an, containing 88 verses. Named after the single Arabic letter Sād with which it begins, it belongs to a group of Surahs that open with mysterious isolated letters (Huruf al-Muqatta'at). This Surah is a masterclass in psychology, dealing directly with human pride, the nature of arrogance, and the ultimate victory of patience over tyranny.

39. Surah Az-Zumar (The Groups) is the 39th chapter of the Qur'an. Containing 75 verses, it is a deeply moving and powerful Surah that shifts between firm, logical refutations of polytheism and profoundly tender reassurances of divine mercy.

40. Surah Ghafir (The Forgiver) is the 40th chapter of the Qur'an. Comprising 85 verses, it holds a monumental place in the structure of the text as it opens a massive, contiguous block of seven chapters known collectively as the Hawamim (surahs beginning with the mysterious letters Ha-Meem).

It is the third chapter within the Hawamim series—the seven consecutive surahs that begin with the mysterious isolated letters Ha-Meem.

44. Surah Ad-Dukhan (سورة الدخان), translated as "The Smoke," is the 44th chapter of the Qur'an. It consists of 59 verses and stands as the fifth chapter within the consecutive "Ha-Mim" (حاميم) or Hawamim series (Surahs 40 to 46). Revealed during a time of intense tribulation, the Surah serves as a strict divine ultimatum against arrogance, treating revelation as "play," and ignoring structural signs from God.

45. Surah Al-Jathiyah (سورة الجاثية), translated as "The Kneeling" or "Crouching," is the 45th chapter of the Qur'an. Comprising 37 verses, it is the sixth of the seven consecutive "Ha-Mim" (حاميم) or Hawamim Surahs (Surahs 40 to 46). While its sister chapters (like Az-Zukhruf and Ad-Dukhan) issue intense warnings and historical ultimatums, Surah Al-Jathiyah shifts to a calm, highly philosophical, and evidence-based tone. It operates much like a divine courtroom case, presenting the natural universe as absolute evidence against human arrogance and subjective materialism.

46. Surah Al-Ahqaf (The Sand Dunes) is the 46th chapter of the Qur'an, consisting of 35 verses. It is the final Surah in the Hwammim series—a consecutive group of seven chapters (Surahs 40 through 46) that all begin with the disjointed letters Ha-Mim.

It is one of the few chapters explicitly named after the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), with its mention occurring in verse 2.

48. Surah Al-Fath (The Victory) is the 48th chapter of the Qur'an, composed of 29 verses. It is a Medinan Surah that marks one of the most critical diplomatic milestones in Islamic history.

49. Surah Al-Hujurat (The Private Quarters) is the 49th chapter of the Qur'an, containing 18 verses. It is a Medinan Surah that functions as the foundational ethical manifesto of Islamic society. While preceding chapters focused on external geopolitics—such as armed conflict (Surah Muhammad) and international diplomacy (Surah Al-Fath)—Surah Al-Hujurat turns entirely inward. It addresses the internal social framework, etiquette, and moral boundaries required to sustain a healthy, unified civilization. Because of this, it is universally referred to by scholars as Surat al-Akhlaq (The Chapter of Morals and Etiquette).

50. Surah Qaf is the 50th chapter of the Qur'an, containing 45 verses. It marks the structural beginning of the Al-Mufassal section—the final portion of the Qur'an composed of relatively shorter, highly rhythmic, and deeply impactful Surahs.

51. Surah Adh-Dhariyat (The Winnowing Winds) is the 51st chapter of the Qur'an, comprised of 60 verses. Like its predecessor (Surah Qaf), it belongs to the Al-Mufassal section and is an early Makkan chapter. The Surah derives its name from the very first word, Adh-Dhariyat, which refers to the powerful winds that scatter dust and seeds across the earth. Its central objective is to establish the absolute certainty of the Afterlife and the divine promise (Wa'd), utilizing oaths sworn by majestic natural phenomena.

52. Surah At-Tur (The Mount) is the 52nd chapter of the Qur'an, containing 49 verses. It is a Meccan Surah located in the final Al-Mufassal section of the Qur'an.

53. Surah An-Najm (The Star) is the 53rd chapter of the Qur'an, containing 62 verses. It holds an extraordinary place in Islamic history as a masterpiece of divine eloquence that completely overwhelmed its first audience. Named after the cosmic phenomenon that opens its first verse, this early Meccan Surah deals intimately with the absolute authenticity of revelation, the details of the Prophet's heavenly journey, and a stern refutation of the core theological fabric of Arabian paganism.

54. Surah Al-Qamar (The Moon) is the 54th chapter of the Qur'an, containing 55 verses. It is a Meccan Surah known for its piercing, fast-paced rhythmic structure and its urgent warnings about the proximity of the Day of Judgment. The chapter takes its name from the extraordinary astronomical event referenced in its opening verse—the splitting of the moon—which stands as one of the most famous physical miracles attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

55. Surah Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful) is the 55th chapter of the Qur'an, containing 78 verses. Celebrated for its unique, dual-focused structural composition and its captivating rhythmic prose, it is famously referred to in prophetic traditions as Aroos al-Qur'an (The Bride of the Qur'an) due to its sheer stylistic beauty and artistic elegance. The Surah stands out uniquely because it addresses two entirely distinct sentient creations simultaneously: Mankind and the Jinn (Al-Thaqalayn), challenging both to acknowledge the mathematical precision, physical beauty, and spiritual gifts embedded throughout the cosmos.

56. Surah Al-Waqi'ah (The Inevitable Event) is the 56th chapter of the Qur'an, consisting of 96 verses. Positioned immediately after Surah Ar-Rahman, it shares a similar rhythmic prose and cinematic focus on the Afterlife. Named after its very first verse, the Surah provides a stark, uncompromising look at the ultimate sorting of humanity on the Day of Resurrection, forcing listeners to confront their final destination.

57. Surah Al-Hadid (The Iron) is the 57th chapter of the Qur'an, containing 29 verses. It marks a highly significant structural threshold in the Qur'an, serving as the very first of the Musabbihat—a consecutive group of chapters (Surahs 57 through 62) that all begin with the direct declaration of Allah's glorification ("Sab-baha lillahi..."). The Surah masterfully intertwines profound theological concepts of divine sovereignty with concrete, practical demands for financial and physical sacrifice to sustain a developing civilization.

58. Surah Al-Mujadila (Chapter 58 of the Qur'an), titled "The Pleading Woman" or "She Who Disputes," is a uniquely structured Medinan Surah consisting of 22 verses. It holds a distinct position in Islamic jurisprudence because its primary legal decree was triggered by a marginalized woman standing up for her domestic and socioeconomic rights.

59. Surah Al-Hashr (Chapter 59 of the Qur'an), translated as "The Banishment" or "The Gathering," is a 24-verse Medinan Surah. It serves as a profound historical and theological commentary on a pivotal geopolitical shift in early Islamic history: the siege and subsequent expulsion of the treacherous Jewish tribe of Banu Nadir from the outskirts of Medina.

60. Surah Al-Mumtahanah (The Chapter of She Who is to be Examined) is the 60th chapter of the Qur'an. It consists of 13 verses and is unanimously classified as a Madani Surah (revealed in Medina). The historical context of this Surah is heavily intertwined with early Islamic international relations, personal loyalty, and national security during a delicate "cold war" period in Islamic history.

61. Surah As-Saf (The Ranks) is the 61st chapter of the Qur'an. It is a Madani Surah consisting of 14 verses. Located in the 28th Juz', it belongs to a group of chapters known as the Musabbihat, which all begin with the declaration of the cosmic glorification and praise of God.

62. Surah Al-Jumu'ah (The Friday Congregation) is the 62nd chapter of the Qur'an. Comprising 11 verses, it is a Madani Surah located in the 28th Juz'. It is also classified among the Musabbihat chapters, as it opens with the cosmic declaration of God’s absolute perfection. While many associate this Surah strictly with the rulings of the Friday prayer, its historical framework deals fundamentally with community cohesion, a critique of unapplied knowledge, and navigating the tension between economic survival and spiritual priorities.

63. Surah Al-Munafiqun (The Hypocrites) is the 63rd chapter of the Qur'an. Comprising 11 verses, it is a Madani Surah located in the 28th Juz'. While other chapters of the Qur'an critique hypocrisy, this Surah serves as a definitive, concentrated psychological and political exposure of the internal saboteurs within the early Muslim state. It was revealed to unmask their leadership and protect the community from subversion.

64. Surah At-Taghabun (The Mutual Loss and Gain) is the 64th chapter of the Qur'an. Comprising 18 verses, it is classified as a Madani Surah located in the 28th Juz'. Like the chapters surrounding it (As-Saf, Al-Jumu'ah, Al-Munafiqun), it belongs to the Musabbihat group, opening with the cosmic declaration that everything in the heavens and earth glorifies God. While its opening verses mirror early Makkan themes regarding creation, divine omnipotence, and resurrection, its closing context is deeply rooted in the social and domestic friction experienced by early converts moving from Makkah to Madinah.

65. Surah At-Talaq (The Divorce) is the 65th chapter of the Qur'an. Comprising 12 verses, it is a Madani Surah located in the 28th Juz'. It is also frequently referred to in classical jurisprudence as Surah An-Nisa al-Sughra (The Shorter Surah on Women) to differentiate it from Surah An-Nisa (Chapter 4), which covers broader family laws. While the chapter deals with the painful breakdown of marital contracts, its background information reveals that its primary objective was to replace chaotic pre-Islamic customs with a structured, ethical, and deeply God-conscious legal framework that protected vulnerable parties—specifically women and infants.

66. Surah At-Tahrim (The Prohibition) is the 66th chapter of the Qur'an. Consisting of 12 verses, it is a Madani Surah located at the end of the 28th Juz'. It is the final chapter of the Musabbihat group, moving instantly from a deeply intimate, domestic crisis within the Prophet’s household to monumental, universal lessons on spiritual accountability, gender ethics, and sincere repentance.

67. Surah Al-Mulk (The Sovereignty / The Kingdom) is the 67th chapter of the Qur'an. Comprising 30 verses, it marks the exact beginning of the 29th Juz' (which is frequently referred to as Juz' Tabarak after the opening word of this chapter). It is an early Makkan Surah focused fundamentally on establishing the absolute majesty of God, the architectural perfection of the cosmos, the purpose of human existence, and the reality of accountability.

68. Surah Al-Qalam (The Pen) is the 68th chapter of the Qur'an. Comprising 52 verses, it is located in the 29th Juz' (Juz' Tabarak).

It is an early Makkan Surah characterized by short, rhythmic, impactful verses designed to defend the psychological integrity of the Prophet, rebuke his elite detractors, and lay down the moral standards of divine mentorship.

69. Surah Al-Haqqah (الحاقة), the 69th chapter of the Qur'an, is a powerful, rhythmically intense Makkan Surah composed of 52 verses.

71. Surah Nuh (سورة نوح), the 71st chapter of the Qur'an, is a unique Makkan Surah composed of 28 verses. Named after the Prophet Nuh (Noah, AS), it is the first chapter in the Qur'an completely and exclusively dedicated to the da'wah (preaching) experience, struggles, and personal prayer of a single prophet.Unlike other Surahs where Noah's story is told from a third-person narrative historical lens, Surah Nuh is deeply intimate, structured largely as a first-person report and monologue by the Prophet Nuh to God.

72. Surah Al-Jinn (الجن), the 72nd chapter of the Qur'an, is a Makkan Surah consisting of 28 verses. Its name translates directly to "The Jinn" or "The Unseen Beings". The word Jinn stems from the Arabic root meaning "to hide" or "conceal," denoting a creation that is structurally hidden from human sight. This Surah is highly unique because it acts as a "third-party divine testimony"—providing a verbatim transcript of the speech, internal theology, and awe-struck realizations of a group of Jinn who heard the Qur'an recited for the very first time.

73. Surah Al-Muzzammil (المزّمّل), the 73rd chapter of the Qur'an, contains 20 verses. Its title translates to "The Enwrapped One", "The Cloaked One", or "The Wrapped-Up One". It is deeply significant in Islamic history as it outlines the structural, spiritual, and psychological "training program" designed to prepare the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his earliest companions for the immense weight of their mission.

74. Surah Al-Muddaththir (المدّثر), the 74th chapter of the Qur'an, contains 56 verses. Its title translates to "The Cloaked One", "The Enwrapped One", or "The One Wearing a Mantle". While Surah Al-Muzzammil (the preceding chapter) focused on the Prophet’s ﷺ private, internal spiritual preparation through night prayer, Surah Al-Muddaththir marks the historic shift to his public, external mission. It contains the definitive cosmic command: "Arise and warn!"

75. Surah Al-Qiyamah (القيامة), the 75th chapter of the Qur'an, is a deeply moving Makkan Surah consisting of 40 verses. Its title translates directly to "The Resurrection" or "The Standing [Before God]". Characterized by short, rapid, and rhyming verses, this chapter delivers an intense psychological and spiritual wake-up call to humanity regarding the inevitability of the afterlife. It moves seamlessly between grand cosmic destruction, the intimate psychological experience of death, and the precise preservation of the Qur'anic text itself.

76. Surah Al-Insan (الإنسان), the 76th chapter of the Qur'an, contains 31 verses. Its name translates directly to "The Human" or "Man". It is also widely known by another name derived from its opening verse: Surah Ad-Dahr (الدهر), meaning "Time" or "The Endless Span of Time". This Surah is renowned for its exceptional literary beauty, its fluid, poetic rhythm, and its breathtakingly detailed description of the psychological and physical rewards of Paradise.
