About this surah
This surah is classified as revealed in the Meccan period. It opens with a brief scene: when the sky splits apart, the stars scatter, the seas burst forth and the graves are overturned, each soul will know what it put forward and what it held back. It then addresses man directly, asking what has deceived him about his Most Generous Lord, who created him, proportioned him and assembled him in whatever form He willed. It notes that people deny the Judgement, yet noble guardians are recording everything they do, and it contrasts the righteous in bliss with the wicked in Hellfire. The surah ends by asking twice what the Day of Judgement is, and answers that it is the Day when no soul can do anything for another, and all command belongs to God.
