The Surah name ‘Hijr’ is the name of a town where the people of Hadrat Salih (Nation of Samud) used to live. The name of this Surah, Al-Hijr, is taken from the Aya number 80th which deals with the people of Salih.
The Surah contains the well known declaration of Allah SWT that He, Himself has taken the responsibility of preserving and safeguarding Al-Qur’an (9). And also one of the name of Surah Al-Fatiha is mentioned as Sab’al Masani (87) ” seven of the often repeated ayas ”
It contains stories of previous nations as an example and to give comfort to Prophet Muhammed SAW. Divine order to proclaim the commandments of Allah SWT publicly and turn away from the polytheist. Admonition through the story of Adam’s creation, prostration of the angels before him, and refusal of Shaitan to prostrate.
May Allah SWT give us correct understanding and strength to follow.
