Explanatory Note

It is the unshakeable faith that will not submit to any worldly power. It is the faith which is reassured about the future, in the knowledge that all human beings will return to their Lord. With faith, people have the reassurance of being close to Him: “To our Lord we shall indeed return.” (Verse 125). When a person realizes the nature of the battle against tyranny, and that it is a battle over the central issues, he takes his stand firmly without hesitation. He would never seek the clemency of an enemy who is not prepared to accept anything from him short of abandoning his faith altogether, because, after all, that is the issue over which the fight takes place.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

A study of its contents clearly shows that the period of its revelation is about the same as that of Surah 6: al-An’am (The Grazing Livestock), i.e. the last year of the Prophet's life at Makkah, but it cannot be asserted with certainty which of these two were sent down earlier. The manner of its admonition clearly indicates that it belongs to the same period. [Ref: Mawdudi]

It is considered the longest surah revealed during the Makkan period. Some consider this surah to have been revealed after Surah 38: Sad. [Ref: Tafsir al-Maudheei, Dr. Mustafah Muslim, vol. 3, p. 2]
