Introduction โ from Tafheem-ul-Quran
An early-Makkan surah of the great undoing: the sun folded up, the stars falling, the seas set aflame โ and the infant girl buried alive asked for what sin she was killed. Against that Day it testifies that the Quran is the word of a noble Messenger, and not the word of a devil accursed: 'it is a reminder to the worlds, for whoever wills to go straight.'
Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
