Script error: No such module "Sidebar". Al-Ḥijr (Template:Langx)[1] is the 15th sūrah (chapter of the Quran). It has 99 āyāt.

The asbāb al-nuzūl (timing and contextual background) is that it is was revealed in Mecca revealed during the middle period and received by Muhammad shortly after sura Yusuf. Like other surahs of this period, it praises God. Parts of the verses 4-74 are preserved in the Ṣan‘ā’1 lower text.[2]

This surah takes its name from its 80th āya,[3] which refers to a pre-Islamic archaeological site called Hegra (from Template:Langx) or al-Ḥijr (Template:Langx).

Central theme

This surah contains brief mentions of Tawhid, and provides an admonition to the disbelievers. The primary subjects of the surah are:

  1. cautioning the individuals who dismissed the message and
  2. providing solace and support to Muhammad,

The Quran never limits itself to mere rebuke; reproach and reprimand. It depends on its statute. The surah contains brief contentions for Tawhid and admonition in the tale of Adam and Satan.[5]
