Explanatory Note

The emphasis here is on man’s spiritual qualities since these are the ones which drag man down to the most ignoble state when he deviates from his upright nature and turns away from belief in God. Needless to say, man’s physical structure does not sink to such a low level. Moreover, the superiority of man’s creation is most clearly apparent in his spiritual qualities. He is made in such a way as to be able to attain a sublime standard, superior to that of the highest ranking angels. This is illustrated in the story of the Prophet’s ascension to heaven. Then, Gabriel stopped at a certain level and Muhammad, human as he was, was elevated much higher.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

According to Qatadah, this Surah is Madīnan. Two different views have been reported from lbn Abbas: first that it is a Makkan Surah, and second that it is Madīnan. But the majority of scholars regard it as a Makkan revelation, a manifest symbol of which is the use of the words ‘this city of peace’ (ha-dhal-balad-il-amin) for Makkah.
