Allah Provides for All and Tests Mankind
Says Allah provides for every creature and created the heavens and earth to test who does best. People despair when blessings are taken and boast when they return, except the patient.
Shaytan Disowns His Followers on Judgment Day
Compares disbelievers' deeds to ashes in a storm. On Judgment Day the weak blame the arrogant, and Shaytan says he only invited them, while believers enter Gardens greeted with peace.
Iblis Refuses to Bow to the Human
Tells how Allah created man from clay and the jinn from fire. Iblis refuses to prostrate and is expelled, vows to mislead people, and is told he has no power over Allah's servants.
All Creation Bows to Allah
Warns plotters that Allah can seize them at any moment, and points to shadows and all creatures, including angels, humbly bowing to Allah and doing what they are commanded.
The Wise Book and Those Who Mock It
The Book guides those who pray, give zakah and believe in the Hereafter. Some buy idle talk to mislead and mock Allah's way. Allah's creation is shown, and others are challenged to show what they created.
Arrogance and the Way of Former Nations
Challenges people to show what their false partners created. Says Allah holds the heavens and earth, and those who swore to follow a warner turned away in arrogance, while stronger nations before them were destroyed.
Iblis Refuses to Bow
Allah creates a human from clay and orders the angels to bow; Iblis refuses, claiming he is better. Expelled, he vows to mislead people except Allah's chosen servants. The surah ends calling the Qur'an a reminder to the worlds.
Faith Too Late Does Not Help
Livestock and ships are among Allah's signs. Earlier nations were stronger but boasted of their own knowledge; when they saw the punishment they declared faith, but faith at that point did not benefit them.
Signs for Those Who Reflect
Points to signs in the heavens, earth, people, animals, night and day, rain and winds. Warns the sinful liar who hears Allah's verses, turns away arrogantly and mocks them, of a painful punishment.
Disbelievers Crowding Around the Prophet
Questions disbelievers who crowd around the Prophet ﷺ yet hope for Paradise. Allah can replace them with better people, so leave them until the Day they rush from their graves humbled.
Nuh Calls His People Day and Night
Tells how Nuh called his people to worship Allah night and day, openly and secretly, asking them to seek forgiveness. He pointed to the heavens, sun, moon, and earth, but they put their fingers in their ears.
Is Man Left Without Purpose
Condemns the one who neither believed nor prayed but walked proudly. Asks if man thinks he will be left neglected, recalling his creation from a drop, and asks if Allah cannot give life to the dead.
Recite in the Name of Your Lord
Commands reciting in the name of the Lord who created man and taught by the pen. Warns the arrogant man who stops a servant from praying, and says not to obey him but to prostrate and draw near.
