سورۃ الرعد قاری شریف مصطفی
Ar-Ra'd, (Arabic: الرعد ar-raʻd), or the Thunder,[1] is the 13th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, composed of 43 verses (āyāt). It has Muqattat (Quranic initials) المر (Alif. Lam. Mim. Ra or ALMR).
The goal of the Sura is the power of truth and the weakness of falsehood. Verse 15 contains a prostration symbol ۩:[2]
[3] Whatsoever is in heaven and on earth worshippeth GOD, voluntarily or of force; and their shadows also, morning and evening. ۩ [1]
This sūrah is concerned with the oneness of God, the message, the Day of judgement, and the penalty. The sūrah revolves around an important axis that what is truth is clear through power and stability; what is falsehood is clear through its weakness. Thus, no matter how it is perceived and no matter how it pretends to be the truth. The verses call upon people to not be deceived by the glitter of falsehood because it is inevitably fleeting, while the truth shines throughout the entire universe.Summary
