86th sura of the Quran

4. The Essence of Human Existence

The surah poignantly emphasizes the ephemeral nature of life, asserting that human beings are created from a “drop emitted.” This reference is a humbling reminder of the origins of humanity. The Shia interpretation further categorizes human life as a transient journey, highlighting the importance of acknowledging one’s roots while aspiring for spiritual elevation. Thus, this reflection on existence encourages believers to pursue righteousness and engage in virtuous deeds, knowing that life is fleeting.

5. Accountability on the Day of Judgment
