Introduction โ from Tafheem-ul-Quran
A middle-Makkan surah, also called Al-Mala'ikah. It is a sustained address on Allah's creative power โ the angels with wings two, three and four, the winds, the seas, the mountains of many hues โ declaring that all besides Him are too poor to create even a fly: 'O mankind, you are the ones in need of Allah, and Allah is the Self-Sufficient, the Praiseworthy.'
Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
