Revelation: Makki (revealed at Makkah) ยท Ayahs: 88

Introduction โ€” from Tafheem-ul-Quran

Revealed when the Quraysh leaders approached Abu Talib to silence his nephew, amazed that he made 'the gods one God.' It answers their arrogance with the stories of Dawud and Sulayman โ€” rulers who repented and turned to Allah โ€” Ayyub's patience, and the primal story of Iblis's refusal to prostrate to Adam out of pride.

Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
