Al-Anbiyâ' (Surah 21)

Introduction

Like the previous sûrah, this is another Meccan sûrah that aims at reassuring the Prophet (ﷺ) by reminding him of Allah’s grace and support to His prophets, including Abraham, Job, Jonah, Zachariah, and Jesus. The Prophet (ﷺ) is said to be sent as a mercy to the whole world (verse 107). Warnings of the horrors of Judgment Day are dispersed throughout the sûrah and are carried over to the next sûrah. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
