Al-Qasas (Stories)

The Surah takes its name from verse 25 in which the word Al-Qasas occurs. Lexically qasas means to relate events in their proper sequence. Thus from the view- point of the meaning too this word can be a suitable title for this Surah for in it the detailed story of the Prophet Moses has been related.

Al-Naml (The Ants)

The Sura takes its name from the phrase wadin-naml which occurs in verse 18 implying that it is a Sura in which the story of Al-Naml (the Ant) has been related.

Shu'ara (Poets)

The Surah takes its name from verse 224 in which the word Ash-Shu'ara occurs.

Al-Furqan (The Standard)

The Surah takes its name "Al-Furqan" from the first verse. Though it is symbolic like the names of many other Surahs it has a close relation to its subject matter.

Anbiya' (Prophets)

The name of this Surah has not been taken from any verse but it has been called Al-Anbiya' because it contains a continuous account of many Anbiya' (Prophets). Nevertheless it is a symbolic name and not a title.

Yunus (Jonah)

The Surah takes its name from V. 98 in which there is a reference to Prophet Yunus (Jonah). The name as usual is symbolical and does not indicate that the Surah deals with the story of Prophet Jonah.

Al-i-Imran

This Sura takes its name from v. 33. Al-i-Imran like the names of many other suras is merely a name to distinguish it from other suras and does not imply that the family of Imran has been discussed in it.
