Meccan suras divided into early, middle, and late periods. These titles are derived from alternate translations of al-Ḥāqqa, the word that appears in the first three ayat of the sura, each alluding to the main theme of the sura – the Day of Judgment.Īl-Ḥāqqa is a Meccan sura, meaning it was revealed to Muhammad while he lived in Mecca as opposed to Medina. These include “The Inevitable Hour”, “The Indubitable”, “The Inevitable Truth”, and “The Reality”. There are several English names under which the surah is known.
Al-Ḥāqqah ( Arabic: الحاقة) is the 69th chapter ( sūrah) of the Qur'an with 52 verses ( āyāt).
