Al-Haaqqa
Sūrat al-Ḥāqqah ((アラビア語:سورة الحاقة)) is the 69th sura of the Qur'an with 52 ayat. There are several English names under which the surah is known. These include The Inevitable Hour, The Indubitable, The Inevitable Truth, and The Reality. These titles are derived from alternate translations of al-Ḥāqqa, the word that appears in the first three ayat of the sura. “al-Ḥāqqa! What is al-Ḥāqqa? What will explain to you what al-Ḥāqqa is?” Though each of these titles may sound very different, each one alludes to the main theme of the sura - the Day of Judgment.
Respected Islamist scholar Sayyid Qutb makes a very interesting observation on the actual sound of al-Ḥāqqa, “The very sound of the word imparts a feeling of decisiveness, seriousness, and a grounding stability. It sounds like a heavy object being lifted some considerable distance before being placed firmly into position. The strongly aspirated ‘h’ sound appears to be lifted by the elongated ‘a’ before it is firmly placed at the doubled ‘q’ and then finally stabilized with the final ‘h’ sound.”〔Sayyid Qutb "In the Shade of the Qur'an" pages 207-208〕
== Historical context ==
Al-Ḥāqqa is a Meccan sura,〔Carl Ernst "How to Read the Qur'an" page 216〕 meaning it was revealed to the prophet while he lived in Mecca as opposed to Medina. Meccan suras divided into early, middle, and late periods. Theodor Nöldeke in his widely accepted chronology of suras places al-Ḥāqqa at 35.〔Carl Ernst "How to Read the Qur'an" page 40〕 This places the sura in the early Meccan period - around 612-617 AD.
Early Meccan suras are especially influenced by their historical context. At the time, Pagan polytheism dominated western Arabia and Islam was a very small budding religion. Muhammad had very little religious, political, or social power. The suras of this period consequently deal less with specifics and concentrate on a few central themes. Scholar John Gilchrist points this out in one of his commentaries, "the early Meccan surahs are all somewhat similar and concentrate on the issues which first impressed themselves upon Muhammad, namely the waywardness of his people, the judgment to come, and the destiny of all men to heaven or to hell."〔Muhammad and The Religion of Islam - John Gilchrist - http://answering-islam.org/Gilchrist/Vol1/4b.html〕
