Revelation: Makki (revealed at Makkah) · Ayahs: 49
Introduction — from Tafheem-ul-Quran
An early-Makkan surah sworn by Mount Tur. Hearing it recited at Maghrib moved Jubayr ibn Mut'im, then still a polytheist, to the verge of faith — especially its challenge: 'Were they created from nothing, or are they themselves the creators?' The punishment of your Lord will surely come to pass; so wait patiently for His judgement.
Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
