[Musnad Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi, ibn al-Mundhir, Tabarani, Hakim]

 

* Theme and Subject Matter *

 

▪ The Surah begins with a description of the upheaval of the Day of Judgment.

 

▪ The second part starts with a disapproval combined with an implicit threat to man who is the recipient of abundant grace but who shows no gratitude for it,

 

* “O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,” [82: 6]*

 

▪ The third part provides the reason for man’s ungrateful attitude.

 

_* Denial of reckoning and judgment, the Surah tells us, is the source of every evil. *_

 

▪ The final part gives an idea of how fearful the Day of Judgment is, how everyone is absolutely helpless and how all power belongs to Allah ﷻ
