Revelation: Makki (revealed at Makkah) ยท Ayahs: 60
Introduction โ from Tafheem-ul-Quran
Revealed after the Persians crushed the Byzantines (Romans), when the Makkan polytheists gloated. The surah made a prophecy fulfilled within a few years โ 'The Romans have been defeated... but they will be victorious' โ and builds on it the greater promise: as surely as that prediction came true, Allah's promise of resurrection and the triumph of truth will come true.
Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
