Explanatory Note

The practical proof of the first creation is more than enough: “Say: The angel of death who has been given charge of you will gather you, and then to your Lord you will be brought back.” This is given as a confirmed piece of news. Who though is the angel of death? How does he gather people’s souls? This is something that belongs to the realm beyond our perception, which is known to God alone. From Him we receive only accurate information. We can add nothing to what we receive from this source.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

From the style of the Surah it appears that it was sent down during the early-middle Makkah period. This is due to little reference of the severity of the persecution and tyranny which one finds in the Surahs sent down in the later stages.
