Description
This sūra opens with an emphatic declaration of the unity and creative power of God. Next come sections on the resurrection and the different fates awaiting believers and disbelievers, followed by stories of earlier messengers from Noah to Jonah. It concludes with a refutation of the worship of angels as ‘daughters of God.’
