mostly come near the end of the Qur'an’s 114 surahs. Most of the surahs containing muqattaʿat are Meccan. In his book The Corân, William Muir classifies ash-Shams in a Quranic sub-category known as the Soliloquies - a literary form of discourse in which Muhammad talks to himself or reveals his thoughts without addressing a listener.

However Malik argues that Major Issue, Divine Law and Guidance in this surah is that "Success depends on keeping the soul pure and failure depends on corrupting it, people of Thamud were leveled to the ground for that very reason." 1-10 Good and evil The first part deals with three things:-: 1-That just as the sun and the moon, the day and the night, the earth and the sky, are different from each other and contradictory in
