Explanatory Note

Such was the defeat in this present life, but it is neither the final nor the most crushing and bitter one. Therefore, the surah leaves it aside to speak about the one that is to follow: "But the Last Hour is their appointed time, and the Last Hour is most calamitous and most bitter."

It is far more bitter and terrible than any suffering they could ever experience in this life on earth. It is more calamitous than any scene of punishment drawn for their understanding: worse than the floods, the howling, cold wind, the blast, the stone-bearing wind and Pharaoh and his host's drowning.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

The incident of the ‘splitting of the moon’ (shaqq-al-Qamar) that has been mentioned in this Surah, determines its period of revelation precisely. The traditionists and commentators are agreed that this incident took place at Mina in Makkah about five years before the Prophet’s migration (Hijra) to Madīnah.
