'''Sūra al-Kawthar''' (Arabic: {{ia|سورة الكوثر}}) is the 108th [[sura]] and a [[Makki]] sura of the [[Qur'an]], located in the thirtieth [[juz']] thereof. It is the smallest sura of the Qur'an, which is called "al-Kawthar" because its first verse talks about a blessing to the [[Prophet (s)]] called "al-Kawthar," asking the Prophet (s) to say [[Prayer]]s and sacrifice for such a great blessing. | '''Sūra al-Kawthar''' (Arabic: {{ia|سورة الكوثر}}) is the 108th [[sura]] and a [[Makki]] sura of the [[Qur'an]], located in the thirtieth [[juz']] thereof.
