Explanatory Note

We certainly sent human messengers “with clear proofs”, and We gave divine books, and,

“We have now bestowed on you the reminder that you may elucidate to mankind all that has been bestowed on them.” (Verse 44)

This applies to those who received earlier revelations but who then differed among themselves concerning the messages contained in their divine books. The Qur’ān provides a clear judgement in their disputes. This also applies to the Prophet’s contemporaries, the first community to be addressed by the Qur’ān. The Prophet was there to explain it to them and to provide practical guidance on how it should be implemented in their lives. “And that they may take thought,” on the signs God has placed in the universe confirming the message of truth, and reflect on the Qur’ānic revelations. Indeed the Qur’ān always calls on people to reflect and use their reason.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

The following internal evidence shows that this Surah was revealed during the last Makkan stage of Prophethood:

1.         V. 41 clearly shows that persecution had forced some Muslims to emigrate to Abyssinia before the revelation of this Surah.

2.         It is evident from v. 106 that at that time the persecution of the Muslims was at its height and a problem had arisen where Muslims under persecution were being forced to utter words of blasphemy.

3.         V. 112-114 clearly refer to the end of a seven year famine that had struck Makkah some years after the beginning of Prophethood.
