BRIEF INTRODUCTION:

The chapter has been named as Fusselat too. This word is mentioned in verse 3. It consists of six sections fifty four verses seven hundred ninety six words and three thousands three hundred fifty letters. The chapter was revealed at Mecca after coming of Hazat Hamza in the fold of Islam.

Islam was gaining strength step by step as day by day important personalities began to accept Islam. After Hazrat Hamza who was brave and fearless, the non believers became perplexed. They called a meeting to think over the new situation. Utba-bin Rabbi decided to meet the Prophet for bringing him to the right path conceived by the non-believers. He went to the prophet and placed before him his arguments, the prophet rehearsed this chapter before him. He became shunted after hearing it and came back hopelessly.

Same old objections were raised time and again by the infidels against Quran. It is not a Book from Allah it has been fabricated and written by the prophet himself. It was declared emphatically and clearly that Quran is the Book of Allah and nothing else.

Again they doubted in oneness of God as they were in the habit of worshipping various hand made deities. This ill-conceived and wrong notion was rejected and the Authority of Allah was proved by explaining His creation of the Universe.

The chapter gives clear warning to the rejecters of the truth. Their end shall be horrible. In the past many powerful and wealthy nations were severely punished and destroyed due to their misbehavior with the prophets. The infidels were told that your organs of body would be eye witness of your deeds on the Day of Judgment. No one can hide any thing from Allah.

The infidels tried their best to block the way of Islam but the effectiveness of the words of Allah annulled their all schemes. Those who are believers get inspiration and strength from revelation. The revelation gives life to those who are morally and spiritually dead.

Allah rewards immensely to their faithful and steadfast Bond men.

And even if I be returned to my Lord, necessarily, for me there is good with Him. Then surely We shall tell the infidels all that whatever they did, and We shall certainly make them taste severe torment.

54. Listen, they are surely in doubt concerning the meeting with their Lod, Hearken! He encompasses everything.
