Revelation place: Mecca
Revelation order: 72
Number of verses: 52
This chapter was revealed during the last period of the Prophet Muhammad’s residence in Mecca when the persecution of Muslims was at its worst. It also serves as both an admonition and a warning to disbelievers who rejected Allah’s message and tried to thwart the mission of the Prophet Muhammad.
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the condemned.
With the name of Allah, the gracious the merciful.

The Holy Quran, in its essence, is a divine revelation that can only be fully appreciated in its original Arabic language.
