Surah Fussilat
Surah Fussilat
• This verse of Surah Fussilat also known as Ha Mim was revealed during the early
years in Makkah.
• Fussilat means “clearly spelt out message of Quran”.
• We come to know that celestial bodies and the cycle of nature on earth are the signs of
Allah and help us to identify our true Lord and His presence.
• The Quran says, “Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth and the
alternation of Night and Day – there are indeed signs for men of wisdom”.
• It further emphasizes that Allah alone should be praised and worshipped and nothing
should be associated with Him.
THE SIGNIFICANCE
• Just like the Sun and Moon which have only to accomplish the task of moving in the
prescribed cycle, Muslims have to move in God’s land as He wants them which
means to worship in His prescribed manners.
• Muslims in theirs daily lives learn from this passage that it is not the shining of the
Sun not the shimmering of the Moon that is responsible for the cycle of day and
night but it is God who administers all such affairs.
• Thus they consider themselves humble servants of God and turn to Him for
salvation.
