- Bold = the stressed syllable of the word; a little stronger.
- Overline = long vowel (madd): hold it about two beats. Length matters most in recitation.
- Tiny = no vowel in the Arabic here — just the consonant, short.
- Small Latin letter = a sound Korean lacks, on the next syllable: f upper teeth on lower lip · θ/ð tongue tip between the teeth · r rolled tongue tip (a bare ㄹ is l).

- Bold, larger (ˈ) = say it strong and a little longer — the stressed syllable.
- Faint = weak and short (a reduced vowel). Don't give every syllable equal weight.
- Tiny 으 · 트 · 스 = barely voiced. English has no vowel there — stop on the consonant.
- Whole word faint (the, of, and, to…) = light and quick in a sentence; stress the content words.
- Small f v θ ð r = sounds Korean doesn't have — f: upper teeth on the lower lip; v: the same, voiced; θ/ð: tongue tip between the teeth; r: tongue curled back, touching nothing.

Surah
About this surah
The surah opens with oaths by the Mount, a Book inscribed on unrolled parchment, the much-frequented House, the raised canopy and the swelling sea, declaring that the punishment of the Lord will surely come. It describes the Day when the sky sways and mountains move away, and deniers are shoved into the fire of Hell. In contrast, the God-fearing rest in gardens, their believing offspring are joined with them, and they recall to one another how they once lived in fear among their families. The surah then answers those who call the Messenger a fortune-teller, a madman or a poet with a rapid series of questions: were they created from nothing, or are they the creators? Did they create the heavens and the earth? Do they hold the Lord's treasures? It ends by telling the Prophet to wait patiently for his Lord's decision, knowing he is under God's eyes, and to glorify Him at night and as the stars fade.
- Oaths at the opening
- Inescapable punishment
- Families united in the Garden
- A series of challenges
- Patience and praise
The name It is named after the Mount, by which the oath in verse 1 is sworn.
