| THIS CHAPTER of 112 Meccan verses arranged in seven sections was revealed after the one on Abraham 14 and before Believers 23 and [Soul-] Snatchers 79. It is full of important philosophy beginning in Section II which deals with the essential Oneness of God. We are also told that the God of everyman allows for no intercession (II). The next theme concerns a prophet's gifts, and it states that Muhammad was a messenger rather than a poet (IV). We learn how Abraham dealt with images or idols (V), while the roles of David and Solomon are also discussed (VI), a section that is somewhat parallel to 38:III-IV. The theme becomes inspiring in the face of the Prophet's trials, and at the end it becomes almost apocalyptic. In the name of God, the Mercy-giving, the Merciful! (I) | ||
