What are the meanings of the Surah names of the Quran?
Frankly your question is too general. But anyway, every Surah names have their own reason. For an example, Al-Asr (The Time) tells you how time is important in your life. It's simple right, because time waits for no man, not everything has a second chance. In An-Nas (The Human), it tells you human is not perfect, and can be easily influenced by the words of Satan. So this Surah tells you to be aware of the bad thoughts on your mind, as Satan will never stop to influence human to do bad things. To understand more, read the Koran translation. But sometimes the translation is so complicated, try refer it to some Ulama'.
Reply:well true creed gave your the answer.. or were you wanting a much more detailed spiritual meaning?.. like how did we come up with those names?...
