سورۃ المزمل

The summary/theme of the surah Al-Muzzammil

There is a strong emphasis in the Surah on the importance of prayers and reading the Qur'an. The main theme revolves around the night prayer, tahajjud. The Surah begins by emphasizing the importance of the night prayer and the obligation therein but in the last verse, the obligation is removed, so the prayer becomes voluntary.

Lesson learned from surah Al-Muzzammil

1. Performing tahajjud is very virtuous, and so is reciting the Quran therein.
2. One should set aside some time during his/her day in which the attention is on Allah's alone, without any distractions.
3. If you disbelieve in Allah's, how will you save yourself on the day which will be so horrific it will make children age?
4. The Quran is a reminder, whosoever wishes, can take benefit from it and reach the Almighty.
5. Whatever goodness you send forth for yourselves in the way of good deeds, you shall find its reward with Allah's, Who shall give you a much greater reward for it.
6. Seek the forgiveness of Allah's, for Allah's is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
