15. Surah Al-Hijr (الحجر)
Revelation: Makki (revealed at Makkah) · Ayahs: 99
Introduction — from Tafheem-ul-Quran
Revealed in the Makkan period when mockery of the message had become bitter. It consoles the Prophet ﷺ with Allah's own guarantee — 'Indeed We sent down the Reminder, and We will surely preserve it' — recounts the stories of Ibrahim's guests and the people of Lut and al-Hijr, and commands: 'So glorify your Lord with praise and be of those who prostrate.'
Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
