Explanatory Note

By contrast the sūrah dwells on the scene of reckoning faced by the others. It is shown with all that it involves of reproach and blame:

But stand aside today, you guilty ones! Children of Adam! Did I not enjoin on you that you should not worship Satan, as he is your open foe, and that you should worship Me alone? This is the straight path. He had already led astray a great many of you. Could you not, then, use your reason? This, then, is the hell that you were repeatedly warned against: endure it today for your persistent rejection [of the truth]. (Verses 59-64)

Contempt marks the treatment they receive. They are first told to stand aside, away from the believers. They are then addressed as ‘Children of Adam,’ which is an address implying reproach:

“Children of Adam! Did 1 not enjoin on you that you should not worship Satan, as he is your open foe.” (Verse 60)

It was Satan who caused the expulsion of their father, Adam, from heaven. He has declared his permanent hostility to them, yet they continue to worship him.

A study of the style shows that it was either sent down during the last stage of the middle Makkan period or it is one of those Surahs which were sent down during the last stage of the Prophet’s stay at Makkah.
