Explanatory Note

This shows that those who are condemned maliciously show some rejoicing at the misfortune of those who condemned them as they hear God’s answer to them. They speak to them, pleased that they all have the same fate. Thus the painful scene is concluded. It is followed by an emphatic assertion that this will be the end of all those who turn their backs on God’s message and deny His revelations.

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]
