وَمَنْ يَقْنُتْ 1036 سبأ
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ ﴿۱﴾
﴾1﴿ Alhamdu lillaahil lazee lahoo maa fis samaawaati wa maa fil ardi wa lahul hamdu fil aakhirah; wa Huwal Hakeemul Khabeer
﴾1﴿ All the attributes of God belong specifically to Allah, the Exalted. He is the One who possesses whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. The attributes in the Hereafter belong exclusively to Him, and He is the All-Wise, fully aware of everything
Note: From this surah to the end of the Quran is the fourth section, which begins with Alhamdulillah. In this part, the rejection of coercive and polytheistic intercession and its related branches—such as the rejection of polytheism in worship and supplication—is mentioned. It also describes the conditions of the Resurrection and its details. This section contains twelve chapters.
In the first chapter, there are three surahs: Saba, Fatir, and Yasin. These surahs refute coercive and polytheistic intercession with rational and textual arguments.
Relevancy:
This surah has several aspects of connection with the previous surah.
The first aspect is that in the previous surah, there was encouragement for obedience to Allah, the Exalted, and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). In this surah, there is a severe rejection of the opponents and those who turn away, mentioning their punishment and disgraceful deeds.
The second aspect is that in the previous surah, the honor and status of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were mentioned. Now, in this surah, his prophethood is affirmed along with refuting doubts regarding monotheism and prophethood.
Claim of this surah:
There are four main objectives being established: monotheism (Tawhid), prophethood (Risalah), the truthfulness of the Quran, and the affirmation of the Hereafter.
The affirmation of monotheism is achieved by refuting four types of polytheism (shirk) through textual proofs from the prophets, angels, and jinn—demonstrating their incapacity. The four types of shirk that are refuted include shirk in knowledge, authority, worship, and supplication. Additionally, nineteen of Allah's beautiful names (Asma al-Husna) are mentioned to establish monotheism.
The affirmation of prophethood is found in verse 28, along with the refutation of doubts in verses 34 and 35. The method of teaching is indicated through the command "Say" (Qul) at the beginning of the surah.
The truthfulness of the Quran is affirmed in verse 6, along with a warning for the deniers in verse 31 and a reprimand in verse 43.
The affirmation of the Hereafter is emphasized through an oath in verse 3, a reprimand for the deniers in verses 7 and 29, and a description of the conditions of the Day of Judgment.
Summary of the surah:
This surah is divided into four sections.
The first section extends up to verse 10:
It begins with the claim of monotheism (Tawhid), supported by rational arguments in verses 1–2.
The affirmation of the Hereafter is established through an oath in verse 3.
Glad tidings and warnings are given in verses 4–5.
The truthfulness of the Quran is proven through textual evidence in verse 6.
A reprimand is directed toward the deniers of the Resurrection and the Messenger in verses 7–8.
Worldly warnings for the disbelievers are mentioned in verse 9.
[1] In this section, the claim of monotheism (Tawhid) is established, and the rational proof of Tawhid in governance and authority is presented.
The phrase "وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ" (And to Him belongs all praise in the Hereafter) follows "الحمد لله" (All praise is due to Allah), which refers to praise in this world.
After mentioning worldly praise, the verse affirms that in the Hereafter, all servants will exclusively praise Allah, the Exalted, recognizing His ultimate sovereignty and justice.
