The sûrah refers to the status of the Qur’ân as a guide to the truth, to the cosmic signs of day and night, and to how people will be judged on the Day of Resurrection according to what they did in this life. Allâh shows the reasons behind the corruption of nations, the position of people as regards their endeavors, and the results of their deeds in the hereafter.
Sura imeanza kwa kumsabihi Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu. Kisha ikaitaja israi. Baadaye imeeleza ujumbe wa Musa na yaliyofanywa na wana wa Israili. Kisha ikaashiria cheo cha Qurani tukufu katika uongofu na ishara za kilimwengu kwenye usiku na mchana, na yatakayowatokea watu siku ya kiyama katika kulipwa kwa vitendo walivyovitenda duniani.
