What is the best comparative reading of the conclusions of the two surahs?
Supplementary Practice 25 — Comparative Rhetoric of Sūrat az-Zalzalah and Sūrat al-ʿĀdiyāt
- Az-Zalzalah hides deeds and al-ʿĀdiyāt denies divine knowledge
- Az-Zalzalah covers every good and evil deed; al-ʿĀdiyāt closes on divine awareness after inner disclosure
- Both conclusions merely compare the speed of horses
- Neither ending contains an assertion or rule
