Explanatory Note

“yet better still is their reward in the life to come,” but people are rarely aware of the fact. Such people have important qualities which deserve God’s reward. Hence when they persevere in the face of hardship, and they are ‘patient in adversity,” their reward is assured. This is because they

“place their trust in their Lord.” (Verse 42)

They associate no partner with Him in belief, reliance and trust. The sūrah reiterates the task of God’s messengers. This comes in the context of highlighting the mission of the last Messenger and the revelations bestowed on him from on high. This forms a prelude to warnings threatening the unbelievers with severe punishment.

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.
