This sūrah of 37 verses was revealed toward the end of the Makkan period. It takes its name from the word al-jāthiyah in verse 28. In its initial verses, the sūrah draws attention to God’s signs in the universe for the believers, for those who seek certainty, and for those who use their reason. Then it cites many of God’s favors to humankind so that we may reflect and accept the guidance of the Qur’ān. It continues to recount some events from the history of the Children of Israel. Finally, it presents the end that awaits both believers and unbelievers.
