سُورَةُ الانْشِقَاق

Al-Inshiqaq, The Splitting Open

The eighty-fourth surah of the Qur'an, 25 ayahs, revealed in Makkah. Its ayah 21 is a place of prostration: the Prophet ﷺ prostrated when he recited it.

The full moon rising over the red glow of twilight (84:16–18)

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحٗا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ

O mankind, you are toiling towards your Lord with great effort, and you will meet Him. (84:6)
