۩:[2]

۝[3] Whatsoever is in heaven and on earth worshippeth GOD, voluntarily or of force; and their shadows also, morning and evening. ۩ [1]

This sūrah is concerned with the oneness of God, the message, the

Q13-14

Ayah 13|Quran 13:13 (Translated by Shakir) whenever a Muslim hears thunder, as this was practiced according to the Hadith tradition narrated by Zubayr ibn al-Awwam.[8]

Time of Revelation

The rhetoric of the discourse

uncovered in the ending of the Meccan phase, when Muhammad was also revealed with the surahs Yunus, Hud, and Al-A'araf. Time had passed since Muhammad last passed on the Message. His adversaries had been carrying out various plots to vanquish him and his mission, while his supporters thought that by indicating some tangible miracle the disbelievers might be brought to the Correct Path. The sūrah responded that the Devotees ought not to lose heart, and that disbelievers would explain away any miracle, even if Allah brought the dead out of their graves and caused them to talk.[10]

Theme

The opening ayah articulates the fundamental topic of this sūrah: "The Message of Muhammad (Allah's tranquility arrive) is the very Truth, however, it is the shortcoming of the individuals that they are dismissing it".

Other than this, the sūrah also addresses the rivals and their complaints, and the Devotees, who had been going through trials and were tiring. The Devotees are told that by standing by restlessly for Allah's help, they have been ameliorated and loaded up with expectation and fortitude. The significant issues, divine Laws, and direction incorporated in the text of the discourse can be categorized as follows:[11]-

  1. The
    Qur'an is the disclosure of Allah
    .
  2. Trees, fruits, and vegetables are among the indications of Allah.
  3. Allah never changes the state of a people except if they are eager to change themselves.
  4. The individuals who don't react to the call of Allah will have no real way to escape from hellfire.
  5. It is the recognition of Allah that gives quietness to hearts.
  6. Rasools [Prophets] have no capacity to show any marvel of miracle with the exception of the will of Allah.
