Explanatory Note

The sūrah then draws an image of them as they are engulfed by hell, yet hastening their punishment. This is a fearful scene, coupled with a humiliating rebuke and painful censure: “Taste now [the result of] your own doings.” Such is the end of paying no heed to the warnings and of hastening the punishment.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

"Verses 56 to 60 clearly show that this Surah was sent down a little before the migration to Abyssinia, during the period of extreme persecution of the Muslims at Makkah. This is supported by the subject matter as well. The disbelievers were opposing Islam and the new Muslims were being subjected to severe torture and oppression. Such were the conditions when God sent down this Surah to strengthen and encourage the Muslims, as well as to admonish the hypocrites. The disbelievers of Makkah were also threatened not to invite a similar fate to the past nations that denied the truth." [Ref: Mawdudi]
