In these verses, Allah makes a promise about good and bad people. He swears by the sun, moon, day, and night, and how they follow each other in a perfect way. This shows Allah’s power and knowledge.

Allah also swears by the heaven and earth, and how He created them for our benefit. And He swears by the soul, which is a amazing and delicate thing.

If we make our soul pure and good, we will succeed. But if we make it bad and sinful, we will fail.

A long time ago, a group of people called Thamood did not listen to their prophet and did something very bad. So Allah punished them with a big disaster.

Allah is powerful and wise, and He doesn’t fear anything. He controls everything and knows what’s best for us.

1. Taking care of your soul is crucial. If you make it pure and good, you will succeed. But if you make it bad and sinful, you will lose.
