Chapter Overview
Chapter 7 of Class 10 Tarjama Tul Quran covers Surah Al-Hijr (سورة الحجر), the 15th Surah of the Holy Quran, revealed during the Makkan era. The Surah derives its name from Al-Hijr, the rocky valley inhabited by the ancient nation of Thamud (the Companions of the Valley of Stone). A monumental milestone in this Surah is Allah Almighty's eternal guarantee regarding the preservation of the Holy Quran: "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Quran and indeed, We will be its guardian" (Al-Hijr: 9), assuring believers that the divine scripture remains protected against corruption or alteration for all time.
The Surah elaborates on the origin of creation–fashioning human beings from altered, sounding clay and Jinn from smokeless fire–followed by the rebellion of Iblees, his expulsion from divine grace, and the limit placed on his influence, affirming that he has no power over sincere servants of Allah. Surah Al-Hijr also revisits poignant historical encounters, including the angels visiting Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) with glad tidings of a knowledgeable son, the decisive retribution against the people of Hazrat Lut (A.S), the fate of the Companions of the Wood (Ashab al-Aykah), and the destruction of Thamud who carved impenetrable dwellings into mountains yet could not evade divine judgment. The Surah concludes with words of solace for the Holy Prophet (PBUH), advising continuous praise, prostration, and steadfast worship until certainty (death) arrives.
