Explanatory Note

The sūrah continues to reassure the Prophet that he will be given the ultimate argument and the final evidence whenever the unbelievers come up with a new suggestion or objection. “Whenever they come to you with an argument, We shall reveal to you the truth and the best explanation.”

Their argument is false, and God refutes it with the truth. Indeed the Qur’ān aims to establish the truth in full clarity. It does not aim to win an argument or to be applauded in a debate. It has no time for such pursuits. God, limitless is He in His glory, promises to help His Messenger in any argument he may have with his people. He follows the truth, and God empowers him with the truth that overcomes all falsehood. How can the unbelievers’ argument stand up to God’s ultimate proof? How can the falsehood they advocate resist the overpowering truth revealed by God?

[ edit ]

It appears from its style and subject matter that like Surah 23: al-Mu’minun (The Believers) it was also revealed during the third stage of Prophethood at Makkah. Scholars and commentators if the Qur’an like Ibn Jarir and Imam Razi have cited a tradition of Dahhak bin Muzahim that this Surah was revealed eight years before Surah 4: an-Nisa’ (The Women).
