Explanatory Note

Having given a full picture of their stubborn rejection, the surah directs the Prophet to turn away from them, leaving them to face their fate on the day to the approach of which they pay little heed, despite seeing a sign like the splitting of the moon heralding it: "So turn you away from them. On the day the Summoner will summon them to something unknown, with eyes downcast, they will come out of theirgraves like swarming locusts rushing towards the Summoner. The unbelievers will say: Hard indeed is this day.' (Verses 6-8)

[ edit ]

The incident of the ‘splitting of the moon’ (shaqq-al-Qamar) that has been mentioned in this Surah, determines its period of revelation precisely. The traditionists and commentators are agreed that this incident took place at Mina in Makkah about five years before the Prophet’s migration (Hijra) to Madīnah.
