The Koran (Al-Qur'an)

The chapter begins by rejecting the alleged false gods worshiped by disbelievers who deny the Qur’an and ridicule the Prophet Muhammad. It recounts the fates of earlier nations—such as the people of Noah, ‘Ad, and Thamud—who were destroyed for rejecting their prophets. It describes Hell’s torment for those who dismiss divine warnings.

The chapter concludes by listing the qualities of true believers, including humility, patience, avoidance of waste, and worship of only the one true God. These individuals will inherit Paradise and be greeted with peace for their steadfastness and righteousness.

The Qur’an defends its divine origin against accusations of being mere poetry or the product of jinn. Disbelievers who scorn its message and ridicule the Prophet Muhammad are reminded of the destruction that befell past communities who rejected their prophets. Stories of Moses, Noah, Hud, Salih, Lot, and Shu’ayb illustrate the unwavering commitment of prophets and the dire consequences of arrogance.

Sincere poets who promote truth and faith in God stand apart from those who lead others astray with falsehoods. The text upholds nature as a testament to God’s power and wisdom, reinforcing the authenticity and purpose of the Qur’an as a guiding revelation.
