People Who Ignore Clear Signs
Talks about people who keep turning away from signs and warnings, and reminds them that earlier powerful nations were destroyed.
Some People Would Still Reject Every Sign
Explains that some people are so stubborn that even if angels came down or the dead spoke, they would still refuse to believe unless Allah allowed guidance for them.
Musa Goes to Meet Allah
Musa leaves for forty nights to receive Allah's message. Harun is left in charge, and Musa receives tablets containing guidance and mercy.
The Creator, the Return, and the Reward
Answers those amazed at revelation to a man among them, points to Allah creating the heavens, earth, sun and moon, and describes the return to Him, the Fire and the Gardens.
Demands to Change the Qur'an
Answers demands for a different Qur'an: the Prophet ﷺ only follows what is revealed. It rejects worshipping false intercessors and says mankind was one community before they differed.
The Challenge to Produce a Surah
Declares the Qur'an could only come from Allah and challenges deniers to produce one surah like it. Some listen and look yet do not truly hear or see.
The Challenge of Ten Surahs
Tells the Prophet ﷺ he is only a warner, challenges deniers to bring ten invented surahs like it, and warns that those who want only this world will have only the Fire hereafter.
Lessons From the Stories of the Messengers
Tells the Prophet ﷺ that this story is news of the unseen, that most people will not believe, and that the stories of earlier messengers are a true lesson and guidance for those who understand.
Signs of Allah in the Heavens and Earth
Points to the heavens raised without visible pillars, the sun and moon, mountains, rivers, and gardens watered by one water yet differing in fruit, as signs for those who think.
Hearts Find Rest in the Remembrance of Allah
Answers the demand for a sign: Allah guides those who turn to Him, whose hearts find rest in His remembrance. Says the Prophet ﷺ was sent to recite the revelation, and all matters belong to Allah.
The Messenger's Duty Is Only to Convey
Tells the Prophet ﷺ to worship Allah alone and not follow people's desires. Earlier messengers had wives and children, signs come only by Allah's permission, and his duty is only to convey, with Allah as witness.
A Book to Bring People From Darkness to Light
Says the Book was revealed to bring people from darkness into light, warns those who prefer this world and block Allah's way, and notes every messenger spoke his own people's language.
Warning of the Day of Reckoning
Tells that Allah is not unaware of wrongdoers but delays them to a Day of terror, when they will ask for more time, the earth will be replaced, and criminals will be chained and covered by the Fire.
Mockers Who Would Not Believe Any Sign
Says disbelievers will wish they had been Muslims. They call the Prophet ﷺ mad and demand angels, while Allah guards the Qur'an, and even an open gate to heaven would not make them believe.
Seeking Refuge When Reciting the Qur'an
Teaches seeking refuge in Allah from Shaytan before reciting the Qur'an. Answers those who call the Prophet ﷺ an inventor or say a foreigner teaches him: the Pure Spirit brought it in clear Arabic.
Everything in the Heavens Glorifies Allah
Rejects the claim that angels are Allah's daughters or that there are other gods. Everything glorifies Allah, and when the Qur'an is recited, a barrier stands between the Prophet ﷺ and those who deny the Hereafter.
The Challenge of the Qur'an and Demands for Miracles
Says knowledge of the soul belongs to Allah. Humans and jinn together could never produce the like of the Qur'an, yet disbelievers demand springs, gardens and climbing into the sky before believing a human messenger.
Those Who Dispute and Turn Away From Reminders
Says the Qur'an gives every kind of example, but people argue much. Warns those who mock the verses and turn away, and reminds that Allah is Forgiving but destroyed earlier towns at their set time.
Heedless People and Destroyed Towns
The reckoning is near yet people play and turn away, calling the Prophet ﷺ a mere human, a poet or a magician. Earlier messengers were also men, and unjust towns were destroyed despite trying to flee.
Do Not Argue; Allah Will Judge
Every community was given rites, so the Prophet ﷺ should keep inviting to his Lord and leave disputes to Allah's judgement. Disbelievers worship without proof and show anger when the verses are recited.
Why Do They Reject the Messenger?
Asks why they reject the Messenger ﷺ, whom they know, calling him mad, though he brings the truth and asks no payment. Even when relieved of hardship, they persist and do not humble themselves.
The Criterion and the Objections of the Disbelievers
Praises Allah who sent down the Criterion, owns everything and has no son or partner. Disbelievers call the Qur'an invented legends and mock the Messenger for eating food and walking in the markets.
The Qur'an Abandoned and Revealed in Stages
The Prophet ﷺ complains that his people abandoned the Qur'an. Allah says every prophet had enemies, and explains the Qur'an came in parts to strengthen his heart.
Signs in Shadow, Night, Rain and Water
Points to Allah's signs: the moving shadow, night for rest, winds and rain reviving dead land, fresh and salt water kept apart, and humans made from water. The Prophet ﷺ is told to strive with the Qur'an.
Do Not Grieve Over Those Who Turn Away
The Prophet ﷺ is told not to grieve to death over those who will not believe. They turn from every new reminder, though the earth is full of signs.
The Qur'an Brought Down by the Trustworthy Spirit
The Qur'an is from the Lord of the worlds, brought by the Trustworthy Spirit to the Prophet's heart in clear Arabic. Scholars of Bani Israel recognise it, yet the criminals will not believe until punishment comes.
The Qur'an Settles Bani Israel's Disputes
The Qur'an explains much of what Bani Israel disagree about and is mercy for believers. The Prophet ﷺ is told to rely on Allah, since he cannot make the dead or deaf hear.
The Creature, the Horn and the Final Reckoning
Warns of a creature from the earth, the gathering of deniers, the Horn and the moving mountains. Good deeds bring better reward, evil deeds the Fire. The Prophet ﷺ is commanded to worship the Lord of this sacred city.
The Prophet Is Sent as a Mercy
Allah gave Musa the Scripture, and the Prophet ﷺ was not present at those events but is sent as mercy. The deniers call both books magic, and are challenged to bring a better guide.
Arguing Kindly With the People of the Scripture
Believers should argue with the People of the Scripture only in the best way, affirming one God. The Prophet ﷺ never read or wrote a scripture before, and the Qur'an itself is a sufficient sign.
From Weakness to Strength and Back
Allah creates people weak, then strong, then weak and grey. On the Day of Resurrection criminals will think they stayed only an hour. The Prophet ﷺ is told to be patient, for Allah's promise is true.
Allah's Knowledge and Deniers of the Hour
Praises Allah, who knows everything in the heavens and earth. Answers disbelievers who deny the Hour and mock the idea of being created anew, and reminds them that Allah could make the earth swallow them.
Leaders and Followers Blame Each Other
Shows wrongdoers standing before their Lord, where those who were oppressed blame the arrogant for their disbelief, the arrogant blame them back, and all of them feel regret when they see the punishment.
Replies to Those Who Call the Message a Lie
Disbelievers call the Prophet ﷺ a man turning them from their fathers' ways and the message a lie and magic. He is told to invite them to reflect, say he asks no payment, and warn of the terror to come.
The Qur'an and a People Who Will Not Believe
Swears by the Qur'an that the Prophet ﷺ is a messenger on a straight path. Most will not believe whether warned or not; only those who fear Allah benefit, and all deeds are recorded.
Forgiver of Sin, Severe in Punishment
The Book is from Allah, who forgives sin, accepts repentance and is severe in punishment. Only disbelievers dispute His signs, as Nuh's people and later nations did before they were seized.
A Detailed Arabic Qur'an
The Qur'an is detailed in Arabic as good news and warning, but most turn away. The Prophet ﷺ says he is a man like them, told that their God is One, and warns polytheists who withhold zakah.
Hearing, Eyes and Skins Testify
On that Day the enemies of Allah find their hearing, eyes and skins testifying against them. Disbelievers who told people not to listen to the Qur'an will face the Fire and ask to trample those who misled them.
A Mighty Book Beyond Falsehood
Falsehood cannot approach the Qur'an, which is guidance and healing for believers. The Prophet ﷺ is told only what earlier messengers were told, Musa's Scripture was also disputed, and each person's deeds are for or against themselves.
Only Allah Knows the Hour
Says only Allah knows when the Hour comes, and that false partners will vanish on that Day. Describes how people pray in hardship but turn away and boast when blessed, and promises Allah will show His signs.
Ibrahim's Word and the Worth of Worldly Riches
Recalls Ibrahim rejecting his people's idols. The disbelievers call the Qur'an magic and ask why a great man did not receive it. Silver and gold houses are only worldly enjoyment; the Hereafter is for the righteous.
The Blessed Night and the Coming Smoke
Tells how the Qur'an was sent down on a blessed night as a mercy. Warns of a Day when a visible smoke covers people; they will ask for relief, though they had called their messenger a madman.
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.
False Gods Created Nothing
Challenges idol worshippers to show anything their gods created. Answers those who call the Qur'an magic or invented, and says it confirms the scripture of Musa while a witness from Bani Israel believed.
Questions That Silence the Deniers
Tells the Prophet ﷺ he is no soothsayer, madman or poet. Asks the deniers a series of questions: did they create themselves or the heavens, do they hold Allah's treasures, or have another god?
Nuh's People Deny and the Flood Comes
Tells how Nuh's people called him a madman, so he called on Allah for help. Rain poured and springs burst from the earth, while Nuh was carried on a vessel of planks. The Qur'an is made easy to remember.
'Aad and Thamud Deny the Warning
Tells how 'Aad were destroyed by a screaming wind. Thamud rejected a human messenger, and when one of them hamstrung the she-camel sent as a trial, a single blast destroyed them.
The Day of Assembly and Deprivation
Answers those who deny resurrection: they will surely be raised and told what they did. Calls people to believe, describing the Day of gathering, the gardens for believers, and the Fire for deniers.
Warning of Past Towns and the Seven Heavens
Recalls towns punished for defying Allah and His messengers. Reminds believers that Allah sent a Messenger to bring them from darkness into light, and that He created seven heavens and knows everything.
Be Patient, Not Like the Man of the Fish
Tells the Prophet ﷺ to leave the deniers to Allah and be patient, unlike the companion of the fish, whom Allah's favor rescued and chose. Mentions disbelievers who glare at him and call him mad.
The Qur'an Is Not the Word of a Poet
Swears that the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger, not a poet or soothsayer, but a revelation from the Lord of the worlds. It is certain truth and a reminder for the righteous.
The Wealthy Man Who Called the Qur'an Magic
Tells of a man Allah gave wealth and children, who still wanted more and opposed Allah's verses. After thinking and frowning, he arrogantly called the Qur'an imitated magic and the words of a human.
Fleeing From the Reminder
Compares those turning from the reminder to frightened donkeys fleeing a lion. The Qur'an is a reminder for whoever wills, and no one remembers except by Allah's will.
The Righteous Among Shades and Springs
Promises the righteous shade, springs, and fruits as a reward. Warns the deniers, who enjoy briefly and refuse to bow in prayer, and asks what message they will believe after this.
The Record of the Wicked
Tells that the record of the wicked is in Sijjin. Those who deny the Day of Recompense call the verses old legends, their hearts are stained by their deeds, and they will burn in Hellfire.
Why Do They Not Believe
Swears by the twilight, night, and full moon that people pass through stage after stage. Asks why they do not believe or prostrate when the Qur'an is recited, and promises lasting reward to righteous believers.
The Severe Grip of Your Lord
Reminds that Allah's grip is severe, He begins and repeats creation, and He is Forgiving and Loving. Recalls the armies of Firawn and Thamud, and says this is an honored Qur'an in a Preserved Tablet.
Every Soul Has a Guardian
Swears by the night star that every soul has a protector. Man should see what he was created from; Allah can bring him back when secrets are exposed. The Qur'an is decisive, not a joke.
