Chapter 15

Ḥijral-Ḥijr ( الحجر )

99 verses • revealed at Meccan

»The surah that mentions the ancient and might people of Thamūd that lived in a place or region named Ḥijr, and whom God destroyed because they belied with extreme prejudice His miraculous signs and messengers. It takes its name from Ḥijr (mentioned in verse 80). The people of Thamūd are an example of the many who disbelieved and rejected their prophets. Each has its own time for punishment so the Prophet should bear patiently, not grieve over what the disbelievers say, and continue with his worship.«

The surah is also known as Stoneland, The Rocky Tract, The Stone Valley
