Surah Al Jasia

Surah Al-Jasia, which means “The Kneeling” in Arabic, is the 45th chapter of the Quran. It’s a Makki Surah, meaning it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Mecca during the early days of Islam.

Imagine a grand courtroom, and everyone is standing before a powerful judge. That’s the kind of scene Surah Al-Jathiyah sets up. The title refers to the Day of Judgment when all creation will kneel before Allah (SWT).

The Surah is of medium length, with 37 verses, and it packs a powerful message.
