Summary of Quran Chapter 52, At-Tur, The Mount

Summary of Quran Chapter 52, At-Tur, The Mount 

In the beginning of Surah At-Tur, there is mention of five categories. Determining the meaning of these categories is one of the difficulties in the Quran. There is a significant relationship and deep similarity between Surah At-Tur and Surah Adh-Dhariyat. For example, the style of both Surahs' beginnings is similar. At the beginning of both, oaths are taken step by step, and the subject matter of their oaths is also the same. 

After the mentioning of the oaths in Surah Adh-Dhariyat, it is stated: Verily, that which you are promised (i.e. Resurrection in the Hereafter and receiving the reward or punishment of good or bad deeds) is surely true. 

And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen. (Quran Chapter: 51:5-6). 

While in Surah At-Tur, the mention of the oaths sworn against is like this, 

Verily, the Torment of your Lord will surely come to pass. 

There is none that can avert it. (Quran Chapter: 52:7-8). 

Afterward, in Surah Adh-Dhariyat, the qualities of Paradise and Hell are described, and this theme is also found in Surah At-Tur in a similar manner. Then, in the second section of Surah Adh-Dhariyat, there is a brief mention of the stories of the messengers, while in Surah At-Tur, the corresponding reminder is about the greatness of Allah, His perfect attributes, and His capabilities.
