Key Points
- Revealed at Makkah
- It is a Makkan Surah and is a continuation of the evidence of Allaah-SWT’s Unity and the validity of the Prophethood discussed in the final Aayaat of Surah Yousaf-AS. The Surah begins by introducing its contents as part of a unique book in Allaah-SWT’s Own Words and a great miracle in itself. It is beyond human power to produce anything remotely similar to it. All that is revealed in this Book can never ever be proved wrong by any human being. It explains matters pertaining to this temporal life as well as the Aakhirah and dwells at length on diverse topics such as birth, procreation, politics, morality and economics. Moreover, the prophecies it made about various events of the world proved to be right. There is absolutely no reason to ignore its injunctions pertaining to Divinity and the Aakhirah.
