Abstract

UDK: 28-254

The author here presents a tafseer of surah Al-Ma'ārij, the surah number 70 in the Qur’an comprising 44 ayahs.  The word al-ma'ārij  is plural of al-ma’arej, meaning staircase, ladder, ascending, the place of ascending. This surah was revealed in Macca, probably in the middle maccan period of revelation, when those who denied the Truth had heard the Message a number of times, but arrogantly refused to believe, started mocking it and asking that the punishment they were being threatened with should befall on them. The main theme of this surah is a warning to those who reject the Truth, who deny and mock revealed truths like Resurrection, Next world, Jannah, and Jahannam. The entire text of the surah presents an answer to their stubborn denial. The opening text, its middle and the last part relate to Judgement Day.
