The sûrah mentions the stories of the Prophets Nûh (Noah); Hûd with his nation, the `Âd; Sâlih with his nation, the Thamûd, who were endowed with strength and riches; Lût (Lot) with his nation and the evil acts they dared to commit; and Shu`ayb and the people of Madyan.
Kisha, kama zilivyo sura nyingine za Qurani, aya za sura hii tukufu zimegusia kutazama mbingu na ardhi kwa kuyazingatia yaliyomo ndani yake kati ya utaratibu wa ajabu. Vilevile, sura hii imeviashiria visa vya Manabii kama Nuh na Hud pamoja na kaumu yake Aad. Kisha kisa cha Saleh pamoja na kaumu yake Thamud waliosifika kwa nguvu na kupewa utajiri.
