What is in Juz 19
Juz 19 runs from 25:21 to 27:55, covering the rest of Surah Al-Furqan, all of Surah Ash-Shu'ara and the first part of Surah An-Naml. It begins, and those who said, with the demand of disbelievers to see angels or their Lord (25:21). A wrongdoer regrets taking a certain person as a friend (25:27-29), and the Messenger says his people have abandoned the Quran (25:30). The surah ends describing the servants of the Most Merciful (25:63-74), who walk humbly, pray at night, and ask for spouses and children who bring comfort.
Ash-Shu'ara tells the story of Moses and Pharaoh up to the parting of the sea (26:10-68), then Abraham, who describes his Lord as the One who feeds him and heals him when he is ill (26:78-82), followed by Noah, Hud, Salih, Lot and Shu'ayb (26:105-191), each story ending with a refrain about Allah's might and mercy. It affirms the Quran's revelation in clear Arabic (26:192-195). An-Naml tells of Solomon and the ant (27:18-19), the hoopoe and the Queen of Sheba (27:20-44), and of Salih (27:45) and Lot (27:54-55).
Highlights
وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمۡشُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هَوۡنٗا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلۡجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗا ﴿٦٣﴾
The servants of the Merciful are those who walk the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, “Peace.”
The servants of the Most Merciful walk humbly and answer the ignorant with peace.
وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ ﴿٨٠﴾
And when I get sick, He heals me.
Abraham says that when he falls ill, it is Allah who heals him.
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكٗا مِّن قَوۡلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوۡزِعۡنِيٓ أَنۡ أَشۡكُرَ نِعۡمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَيَّ وَأَنۡ أَعۡمَلَ صَٰلِحٗا تَرۡضَىٰهُ وَأَدۡخِلۡنِي بِرَحۡمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ﴿١٩﴾
He smiled and laughed at her words, and said, “My Lord, direct me to be thankful for the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do good works that please You. And admit me, by Your grace, into the company of Your virtuous servants.”
Solomon smiles at the ant's words and prays to be grateful for his blessings.
