Explanatory Note

At this moment, the arrogant chiefs clearly identify their attitude which implies a strong warning: “For our part, we reject what you believe in.” (Verse 76) This is, then, what they say despite the clear proof given to Şāliĥ, which leaves no doubt in anybody’s mind. It is not the proof which those people needed in order to believe in the message. What turns them away from faith is the fact that their power and authority are threatened when they submit to the only Lord in the universe. It is their lust for power, a deeply rooted desire, which Satan manipulates in order to lead people astray.

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]
