About this surah
Classified as revealed in the Meccan period, this surah begins with oaths by the sky with its great constellations, by the promised Day, and by the witness and what is witnessed. It then tells of the people of the trench, who sat beside a pit of blazing fire and watched what they were doing to the believers, resenting them for nothing except their faith in God, and declares that they were destroyed. Those who persecuted believing men and women without repenting will face the punishment of Hell and burning, while those who believe and do good will have Gardens beneath which rivers flow. The surah goes on to describe God as the One who originates and repeats creation, Most Forgiving and Most Loving, and recalls the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud. It ends by stating that this is a glorious Quran in a Preserved Tablet.
