সূরা আয-যুমার

Surah Az-Zumar (“The Groups”) is the 39th surah of the Quran: a Makkan surah of 75 ayahs.

Background

A Makkan surah named after the groups (zumar) led to Hell and to Paradise at its end (71–75).

Main themes

• Worship Allah, making the religion sincerely His (2, 11)
• Are those who know and those who do not know alike? (9)
• Do not despair of the mercy of Allah — He forgives all sins (53)
• The blowing of the horn and the groups driven to their destinations

Virtue

The Prophet ﷺ would not sleep until he had recited Az-Zumar and Bani Isra’il (Tirmidhi 2920).
