Connection of this Sura to the Previous One:
The connection between the beginning of this Sura and the end of the preceding one (Surat Ar-Rum) is as follows:
- Allah Almighty said in Ar-Rum:
{And We have certainly presented to the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of] example.} (Ar-Rum: 58) This pointed to the Qur'an being a miracle.
- Allah also said:
{And if you bring them a sign...} (Ar-Rum: 58) This indicated their disbelief in the signs.
- This Sura begins by clarifying this point:
{Alif, Lam, Mim. These are the verses of the Wise Book.}
- The disbelief is further alluded to later in this Sura:
{And when Our verses are recited to him, he turns away in arrogance...} (Luqman: 7)
Verses (7-10)
