Surah Moorsalaat- Tafseer

What is Suratul-Moorsalaat all about?

Allah presents a detailed case as to why Yowmul-Fasl will absolutely happen and what it will be like. Suratul-Moorsalaat also has a special countdown pattern to help us to memorize the tafseer. 

5 Groups of winds/angels Allah swears by that He will keep His promise.

4 Descriptions of the Promise (Yowmul-Fasl)

3 Reminders of Allah's absolute power and ability to make his promise a reality

2 Commands for those who deny Allah's promise on Yowmul- Fasl

1 Magnificent Reward of Jannah for the righteous who believed in Allah's promise. 

The countdown is for the righteous is a countdown to the best prize ever, Jannah. For those who deny it is a countdown to punishment on Yowmul-Fasl.

We watched this tafseer for Surah Moorsalaat

The boys wrote one of the countdowns for each flap. 

We used the tafseer book from Ad-Duha Institute Juz 29. The boys

also colored in the surah using the Juz 29 coloring pad.

Surah Moorsalaat Tafseer- Map of Destroyed Nations

Hi guys, I wanted to share with you the tafseer activities we did while studying Surah Moorsalaat. This activity was a map of destroyed nations focusing verse 16-18.

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

In these ayaat, Allah reminds us about the destruction of the disbelieving nations that came before us, like Fir'own and the tribes of Thamood, Iram, and 'Aad. All of these nations and tribes denied their messengers and denied Allah. They loved their traditions, cultures, and sinful behavior more than anything else. So, they paid the price in this life and will pay a higher price in the next life. That is because Allah has absolute power and ability to destroy/punish those who break His laws. 

Here are some of the resources we used. The big tracing pad is from Hands on Quran.

Our main resource is Ad Duha Education Tafseer book Juz 29 

We also watched this Juzz Tabarak series

Did We not destroy earlier disbelievers?

The boys and I talked about each of the different nations that were destroyed because they rejected their messengers. We used the Prophets of Allah map from Allamah Education.  We mapped each nation and found images online of the ruins. The boys wrote a short narration and drew a picture to represent each nation.
