About this surah
Classed as a Meccan sura, it opens with oaths by the morning brightness and the night when it grows still, then speaks directly to the one addressed. It assures him that his Lord has neither forsaken him nor become displeased, that the Hereafter is better for him than the first life, and that his Lord will give to him until he is well pleased. Three past favours are then recalled as questions: did God not find him an orphan and give him shelter, find him lost and guide him, find him in need and make him self-sufficient? The final three verses turn these memories into conduct: do not oppress the orphan, do not turn away the one who asks, and speak openly of the favour of your Lord. The sura thus moves from reassurance, to remembrance, to practical duty toward others.
- Reassurance and comfort
- Remembering past favours
