*Theme and Subject Matter*: The Surah deals with two main themes: the proof of the Hereafter and the establishment of the truth of the Quranic message. It begins by presenting oaths by various natural phenomena—interpreted by many commentators as referring to winds, though some suggest angels or other entities—to affirm the certainty of the Day of Resurrection. These oaths serve as arguments for the possibility, necessity, and inevitability of the Hereafter, addressing human doubts about whether such an event is possible or needed. The Surah describes the catastrophic events of the Day of Judgment, emphasizing the consequences for those who deny the truth. It repeatedly challenges the deniers with the refrain, “Woe on that Day to the deniers,” highlighting their rejection of divine signs. The Surah also underscores Allah’s power in creation, from the formation of humans to the provision of sustenance, as evidence of His ability to resurrect.

Finally, it contrasts the fate of the righteous, who will be rewarded with paradise, with that of the wicked, who will face punishment in Hell. The Surah concludes by questioning the deniers’ rejection of the clear truth presented in the Quran.[](https://www.islamicstudies.info/tafheem.php?sura=77)%5B%5D(https://www.islamicstudies.info/tafheem.php?sura=77&verse=1&to=50)
