10- YÛNUS Jonah Revealed at Makkah/
Introduction
This sûrah starts by pointing out the rank of the Glorious Qur’ân and what the polytheists say about the Prophet. The sûrah then mentions the universe and Allâh’s signs in it, reward on the Day of Judgment, and the decree of Allâh as regards the disbelievers. It denounces their belief. The sûrah also deals with the position of people in affliction and affluence, the absolute power of Allâh over everything, and the idols’ lack of power to effect anything. It challenges the disbelievers to produce a sûrah like it. The sûrah includes a strong threat of torment from Allâh. It also tells of the conditions of people’s selves and Allâh’s vigilant watch over their deeds. Then the sûrah moves on to comfort the Prophet for the pain he feels as a result of the people’s disbelief, in addition to providing decisive evidence that condemns them. This comforting comes in the mention of the stories of previous prophets with their people: Nû
h
(Noah), Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron) with Pharaoh and the Children of Isrâ'îl, and Yûnus (Jonah), after whom the sûrah is named. Finally, the sûrah turns to the Prophet to make the lesson comprehensive. In the Name of Allâh, The All-Merciful, The Ever-Merciful
