Ayat: al-Muminun 1 - al-Furqan 20

In Surah al-Muminun, people are invited to accept and follow the Prophet. This is the central theme of the Surah.  It speaks about the character of true believers and assures that they will be the real successful people.  It draws attention to various stages of human creation, to many other universal signs.  Then it takes some of the stories of other prophets and tells us that they also preached the same message.

Surah an-Nur contains many rules for the development of a society based on righteousness and morality. It talks about male-female relations, rules of proper dress for Muslim women, rules for the punishment of adultery and punishment of those who accuse others of adultery or fornication.

Surah al-Furqan answers some of the objections of the non-believers against the Qur'an and the teachings of Islam.  It also presents the character of the Believers as criteria to prove the truth of Islam.
