سُوْرَۃُ الكَوْثَر|| Surah Al Kawther 100 times || ALQURAN TV

  • last month
Al-Kawthar (Arabic: الكوثر, lit. 'Abundance')[1] is the 108th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. It is the shortest chapter, consisting of three ayat or verses:

۝[2] We have given thee abundance [3]
۝ So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him alone].[4][5]
۝ Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off.[6]
There are several different opinions as the timing and contextual background of its supposed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl). According to Ibn Ishaq, it is an earlier Meccan surah, which is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, sometime before the Isra and Mi'raj.

The word Kawthar is derived from the triliteral root ك - ث - ر (k - th - r), which has meanings of "to increase in number, to outnumber, to happen frequently; to show pride in wealth and/or children; to be rich, plentiful, abundance." The form Kawthar itself is an intensive deverbal noun, meaning "abundance, multitude". It appears in the Qur'an solely in this sūrah.
