The 24th Juz of the Quran encompasses the latter part of Surah Az-Zumar (39:32-75), Surah Ghafir (also known as Surah Al-Mu’min) (40:1-85), and the beginning of Surah Fussilat (41:1-46).
Surah Az-Zumar continues with themes of monotheism and divine judgment. It emphasizes the consequences of denying God's revelations and the ultimate fate of the righteous versus the wicked. The surah highlights God's mercy and justice, encouraging believers to repent and seek His forgiveness.
Surah Ghafir, named after "The Forgiver," elaborates on God's attributes, particularly His capacity to forgive. The surah recounts stories of past prophets and the defiance of their people, illustrating the consequences of disbelief. It addresses the themes of divine guidance, human arrogance, and the inevitability of God's judgment. The story of a believing man from Pharaoh’s family who secretly supported Prophet Musa (Moses) serves as a significant example of faith under oppression.
Surah Fussilat, also known as "Explained in Detail," begins with a focus on the Quran's clarity and guidance. It describes the creation of the heavens and the earth, urging people to acknowledge God's signs and warning of the dire consequences of ignoring them. The surah calls for steadfastness in faith and obedience to God's commands, promising reward for the believers and punishment for the disbelievers.
