Surat Al-Ḥāqqä (Arabic: سورة الحاقة‎) (The Reality) is the 69th sura of the Qur'an with 52 ayat. The Sura tells the story of Thamud and ʿĀd peoples, who were destroyed for their rejection of belief in Allah. Then it states that what Muhammad said was neither poetry nor "words of a soothsayer", but a direct revelation from Allah. لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَا أُذُنٌ وَاعِيَةٌ 69:12 So that We may make it a matter/message for you people a memory-narrative, and so that the ears having characteristic of retainer/receptacle may remember/retain it. The Quran (English pronunciation: /kɒˈrɑːn/ kor-AHN; Arabic: القرآن‎ al-qurʾān, IPA: [qurˈʔaːn],[variations]literally meaning "the recitation"), also transliterated Qur'an, Koran, Alcoran, Qur'ān, Coran,Kuran, and al-Qur'ān, is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims consider the verbatim word of God[1] (Arabic: الله‎, Allah). It is regarded widely as the finest piece of literature in the Arabic language.[2][3][4][5][6] The Quran is divided into 114 suras of unequal length which are classified either as Meccan or Medinan depending upon their place and time of revelation.[7] Muslims believe the Quran to be verbally revealed through angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) from God toMuhammad gradually over a period of approximately 23 years beginning in 610 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death.[1][8][9] Muslims further believe that the Qur'an was precisely memorized, recited and exactly written down by Muhammad's companions (Sahaba) after each revelation was dictated by him.[citation needed] Shortly after Muhammad's death the Quran was compiled into a single book by order of the firstCaliph Abu Bakr and at the suggestion of his future successor Umar. Hafsa, Muhammad's widow and Umar's daughter, was entrusted with that Quranic text after the second Caliph Umar died.[10] When the third Caliph Uthman began noticing slight differences in Arabic dialect, he sought Hafsa's permission to use her text to be set as the standard dialect, the Quraish dialect now known as Fus'ha (Modern Standard Arabic). Before returning the text to Hafsa, Uthman made several thousand copies of Abu Bakr's redaction and, to standardize the text, invalidated all other versions of the Quran. This process of formalization is known as the "Uthmanic recension".[11] The present form of the Quran text is accepted by most scholars as the original version compiled by Abu Bakr.[11][12] Muslims regard the Quran as the main miracle of Muhammad, the proof of his prophethood[13]and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed toAdam, regarded in Islam as the first prophet,[14] and continued with the Suhuf Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham),[15] the Tawrat (Torah or Pentateuch) of Moses,[16][17] the Zabur (Tehillim or Book of Psalms) of David,[18][19] and the Injil (Gospel) of Jesus.[20][21][22] The Quran assumes familiarity with major narratives recounted in Jewish and Christian scriptures, summarizing some, dwelling at length on others and in some cases presenting alternative accounts and interpretations of events.[23][24][25] The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance, sometimes offering detailed accounts of specific historical events, and often emphasizing the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence.
