الرَّحْمَٰنِ르^r라흐마니 بِسْمِ비스밀

• ^r라Small 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).

• ^f팬Small 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.

About this surah

Classified as revealed in the Meccan period, this surah opens with 'When the sun is wrapped up,' and continues through a chain of 'when' clauses describing the end: stars falling, mountains moving, seas set ablaze, records spread open, and Hellfire and the Garden brought near. Among these scenes is the girl buried alive being asked for what sin she was killed. On that Day, it says, every soul will know what it has brought forward. The surah then swears by the receding planets, the departing night and the morning as it breathes that this is the word of a noble messenger, powerful and trustworthy. It insists that their companion is not mad and that this is not the word of an accursed devil, and ends by calling it a reminder to all the worlds for whoever wills to go straight.
