Basing the Chapter of Al-Haqqah on the Glorification of Allah (Exalted be He) and the Requisites of Devotion

Abstract

This research clarifies how the Qur’anic chapter demonstrates the Greatness of Allah (Exalted be He) through His actions and the requirements of devotion that devoted worshippers must fulfill. It also shows how the Qur’anic chapter inculcates Allah’s Greatness in the minds of His devoted worshippers. Each chapter has its own style of highlighting Greatness and the requisites of devotion.

This research deals with the meaning of glorification, the related close terms, the concept of devotion and its requirements, the meaning of Allah’s Name “the Magnificent” and the attribute “Greatness”, and the impact of the Qur’anic chapter on enhanced faith in divine Greatness. It also discusses the aims and objectives of the chapter of Al-Haqqah, how Allah’s Name “the Magnificent” and His Attribute “Greatness” are portrayed in the same chapter and the techniques it uses to confirm divine Greatness and the requirements of devotion.

Main Findings:

1- Each of the Qur’anic chapters has its own style of exalting Allah and explaining the requirements of devotion, including stories, parables, moral lessons, dialogues, cosmic wonders, the Best Names of Allah (Exalted be He), His Supreme Attributes, divine normative precedents, and so on.

2- There is significant consistency between the techniques that each Qur’anic chapter uses to confirm divine Greatness and the requisites of devotion in a way that illuminates minds and nourishes hearts with awe and reverence.

Primary Recommendations:

A scientific study should be conducted on how the Noble Qur’an handles glorification, its requirements, and its recompense at the level of each chapter.
