People learn how to speak to Allah: praise Him, ask Him for help, and ask Him to guide them toward the right way of living.
Clear Verses, Unclear Verses, and Asking for Firm Hearts

The Qur'an Warns People Before the Final Day
Explains that the Qur'an is a warning, false gods cannot help anyone, and people who deny meeting Allah will regret it.
How Hearts Respond to Revelation
Contrasts believers whose faith grows with each new surah and those with diseased hearts who turn away. Ends by describing the caring, merciful Messenger who relies on Allah alone.
The Creator, the Return, and the Reward
Answers those amazed at revelation to a man among them, points to Allah creating the heavens, earth, sun and moon, and describes the return to Him, the Fire and the Gardens.
Demands to Change the Qur'an
Answers demands for a different Qur'an: the Prophet ﷺ only follows what is revealed. It rejects worshipping false intercessors and says mankind was one community before they differed.
A Book of Perfected Verses
Introduces a Book of perfected, detailed verses calling people to worship Allah alone and repent, promising good provision, and reminds that Allah knows what people hide.
Signs of Allah in the Heavens and Earth
Points to the heavens raised without visible pillars, the sun and moon, mountains, rivers, and gardens watered by one water yet differing in fruit, as signs for those who think.
Warning of the Day of Reckoning
Tells that Allah is not unaware of wrongdoers but delays them to a Day of terror, when they will ask for more time, the earth will be replaced, and criminals will be chained and covered by the Fire.
Everything in the Heavens Glorifies Allah
Rejects the claim that angels are Allah's daughters or that there are other gods. Everything glorifies Allah, and when the Qur'an is recited, a barrier stands between the Prophet ﷺ and those who deny the Hereafter.
Those With Knowledge Fall Weeping in Prostration
Says the Qur'an came down in truth and in stages. Those given knowledge fall weeping in prostration when it is recited, and all are told to call on Allah by His best names and praise Him.
The Claim That Allah Has a Son
Declares that claiming the Most Merciful has a son is so terrible the heavens almost burst. Everyone comes to Him as a servant, believers are given affection, and the Qur'an is made easy to warn.
The Qur'an as a Reminder
Tells the Prophet ﷺ the Qur'an was not sent to distress him but as a reminder, sent down from the Creator of the earth and heavens, who knows every secret and has the best names.
The Criterion and the Objections of the Disbelievers
Praises Allah who sent down the Criterion, owns everything and has no son or partner. Disbelievers call the Qur'an invented legends and mock the Messenger for eating food and walking in the markets.
Signs in Shadow, Night, Rain and Water
Points to Allah's signs: the moving shadow, night for rest, winds and rain reviving dead land, fresh and salt water kept apart, and humans made from water. The Prophet ﷺ is told to strive with the Qur'an.
The Hereafter for the Humble
The home of the Hereafter is for those who seek no arrogance or corruption. The Prophet ﷺ is reassured about the Qur'an and told to call to Allah alone, since all will perish except His Face.
Arguing Kindly With the People of the Scripture
Believers should argue with the People of the Scripture only in the best way, affirming one God. The Prophet ﷺ never read or wrote a scripture before, and the Qur'an itself is a sufficient sign.
Creation of the Heavens and of Man
The Book is truth from the Lord of the worlds. Allah created the heavens and earth in six days, began man from clay, gave hearing, sight and hearts, and the angel of death will take each soul.
Allah Is Enough for His Servant
Contrasts those who lie about Allah with the one who brought the truth and those who believed it. Allah is enough for His Servant; false gods cannot remove harm, and guidance benefits only the one guided.
A Detailed Arabic Qur'an
The Qur'an is detailed in Arabic as good news and warning, but most turn away. The Prophet ﷺ says he is a man like them, told that their God is One, and warns polytheists who withhold zakah.
The Arabic Qur'an Sent to Warn
Tells how Allah revealed the Arabic Qur'an so the Prophet ﷺ could warn Makkah and the towns around it of the Day of Assembly. Reminds that Allah alone is Protector, Creator and Provider, and nothing is like Him.
The Devil as a Companion
Warns that whoever turns from remembering Allah gets a devil for a companion who misleads him, and he will regret it on Judgement Day. Tells the Prophet ﷺ to hold firmly to the revelation.
The Blessed Night and the Coming Smoke
Tells how the Qur'an was sent down on a blessed night as a mercy. Warns of a Day when a visible smoke covers people; they will ask for relief, though they had called their messenger a madman.
Questions That Silence the Deniers
Tells the Prophet ﷺ he is no soothsayer, madman or poet. Asks the deniers a series of questions: did they create themselves or the heavens, do they hold Allah's treasures, or have another god?
Prepare for Tomorrow and Know Allah's Names
Tells believers to fear Allah and look at what they have sent ahead for tomorrow. Describes how a mountain would split from the Qur'an's weight, then lists many of Allah's beautiful names.
The Jinn Hear the Qur'an
Tells that a group of jinn heard the Qur'an and believed. They deny that Allah has a wife or son, describe the heavens now guarded, and say some jinn are Muslims and others unjust.
Standing in Prayer at Night
Tells the one wrapped in garments to stand in prayer much of the night and recite the Qur'an slowly, because a heavy message is coming. Remember Allah and rely on Him alone.
The Severe Grip of Your Lord
Reminds that Allah's grip is severe, He begins and repeats creation, and He is Forgiving and Loving. Recalls the armies of Firawn and Thamud, and says this is an honored Qur'an in a Preserved Tablet.
