The word /'iŝar/ is the plural form of /'iŝra/ and basically means 'she‑camel ten months with young', which is just about to be delivered of her young. “And when the pregnant camels shall be neglected” It is also a known fact, in modern science today, that the star the sun, will darken gradually. This is the meaning of the term /takwir/.
We now know that the sun is a globe, extremely hot and blazing, surrounded by intense burning gases whose flames shoot out hundreds of kilometers, so that if the Earth were put in one of the flames it would change to ash and gas at once.īut, at the end of this world and at the threshold of the Hereafter this heat will end and the flames will be folded up, its light will be extinguished, and the sun itself will shrink. In any case, it means, here, the folding up the light of the sun, and the darkening and shrinking of its body. The term /kuwwirat/ is based on the word /takwir/ which, according to dictionaries and commentaries, originally means 'the act of folding up' and 'rolling or wrapping up something (like wrapping on a turban)', and it is sometimes used with the sense of 'casting' and 'darkening', both of which seem to refer to the original meaning. On the whole, eight signs out of all the Great Events are mentioned here.

The items mentioned in this narration vividly show that the goal, by recitation, is to produce knowledge, faith, and action in the reciter. "He who studies Surah 'Abasa and Takwir will be with the Mercy and Grace of Allah in the eternal Heaven and this is easy for Him when He wills.” 5 It is also narrated from Imam Sadiq who said: (The reason is that the horrible events of the Hereafter are so clearly illustrated in them that it makes every conscious person prematurely old). “Hud, Waqiah, Mursalat and Naba' made me old”. It is narrated that the Prophet (S) was asked why he had grown old so early and he answered: (Since, in these Surahs, the signs of the Hereafter are illustrated so clearly that the reciter of them feels that the scene of the Hereafter is in front of him). "He whose looking at the Hereafter makes him glad (as if he sees it), studies Surah Takwir (The Folding Up), 'Infitar ' (Cleaving Asunder), and 'Inshiqaq ' (The Rending Asunder)." The tradition has also been narrated in another form, which says: "He who wishes to look at me on the Day of Judgment, should study Surah Takwir (The Folding Up)”. “He who studies Surah Takwir (The Folding Up) will be saved by Allah from being exposed to shame when the book of deeds will be laid open." 1Īnother tradition from the Prophet (S) says: There are many traditions narrated about the importance of this Surah and studying it, such as a tradition from the Prophet (S) that says:

This Surah is among the Meccan Surahs and there is a variety of evidence to verify this fact. In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful
