Al-Qalam (Surah 68)

Introduction

In this Meccan sûrah, the Prophet’s heart is reassured and his character is highly praised. He (ﷺ) is advised to be steadfast and not to yield to the pagans who reject his message and call him insane. The pagans are warned of an evil fate in this world and the Hereafter. To deter the pagans, the fate of some earlier disbelievers is cited in the next sûrah. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
