== Famous Verses ==
=== Verses 3 and 4 ===
According to [[hadith]]s, these verses were revealed when one of the neighbors of the [[Prophet (s)]] asked about the [[Day of Resurrection]] and asked about how God would gather the bones of the dead and [in the hereafter] recreate human being. The [[Qur'an]] answers to this denial that God not only recreates the bones but will even also recreate the tips of the fingers. It is said that these verses refer to fingerprint and identification of every person with it. Today, fingerprinting is considered completely scientific and scientists have proved that very few people may have similar fingerprints.


Introduction: existence of the self-blaming soul in human being is a sign of the existence of the hereafter.
== Verses 16 and 17 ==
It is mentioned in hadiths that the Prophet (s), due to his love for receiving and memorizing the Qur'an, repeated it hastily upon reception, so the above verses were revealed. But, it is mentioned in another commentary that before finishing the revelation, the Prophet (s) recited it in advance and this shows that the Qur'an was previously revealed to the Prophet (s) all at once. This question that only the concepts in the Qur'an are from God, not the actual words, the above verses are mentioned as arguments that "Qur'an-ah" means "reading" and implies that the words of the Qur'an are from God, not anyone else.


First cause: the wrong assumption about the impossibility of reconstruction of human body
== Merits and Benefits ==
About the merits and benefits of this sura, it is transmitted from the Prophet (s), that "whoever recites the sura al-Qiyama, I and angel [[Gabriel]] will testify for him on the Day of Resurrection that he believed in that day and his face will be brighter than other creatures then." Also, it is narrated from [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]] that whoever frequently recites sura al-Qiyama and acts according to its verses, God will resurrect him the best way with the Prophet (s), while his face is happy until he will pass [[Sirat]] bridge and [[Mizan]].
