Sura al-Mominoon

Sura al-Mu'minun (audio)

Sūra al-Muʾminūn (Arabic: سورة المؤمنون) is the 23rd sura and a Makki sura of the Qur'an, located in the 18th juz' thereof. It is called "Sura al-Mu'minun" (sura of the believers) because of its reference to 15 characteristics of believers. Contents of the sura include refusing from useless works and talks, hasting to do good things, as well as the stories of Moses (a) and Noah (a), the creation of the human being, and resurrection.

Verses 99 and 100 of the sura are its well-known verses according to which unbelievers wish to go back to this world and do righteous actions at the time of their death. As to the virtues of reciting this sura, there is a hadith to the effect that angels give good tidings of peace and comfort in the day of resurrection and achievement of what pleases their eyes when the angel of death comes to them.

This Surah Mominoon is recited by Abdul Basit, Mohamed Siddiq El-Minshawi, Abu Bakr al-Shatri and Saad al-Ghamdi, in their beautiful voices.
