Explanatory Note

The sūrah shows the shadow as being gently stretched by God’s hand before it then contracts: “Do you not see how your Lord causes the shadow to lengthen?” Some time later, “little by little, We draw it in towards Ourselves.” The shadow is a faint darkness made by the sun’s rebounding rays. It moves along with the movement of the earth in relation to the sun, changing its position, length and shape. The sun points it with its light and heat, determining its area and length. When we follow how the shadow changes shape and extent, we experience a feeling of comfort and are gently alerted to the fact that it is an aspect of God’s work.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

It appears from its style and subject matter that like Surah 23: al-Mu’minun (The Believers) it was also revealed during the third stage of Prophethood at Makkah. Scholars and commentators if the Qur’an like Ibn Jarir and Imam Razi have cited a tradition of Dahhak bin Muzahim that this Surah was revealed eight years before Surah 4: an-Nisa’ (The Women).
