There is concern and wisdom in it for all the world. total of 114 Surahs in the Holy Quran، The name of this surah is Al-Jathiya. This surah has four parts. The surah was revealed in Makkah. Studying it shows that verse number 14 of this Surah is Madani. This surah is present in Part (Para) number 25 of the Holy Quran, this surah has 37 verses. It was very difficult for the infidels to accept the belief in monotheism. In this surah, Non-Muslims were invited to think about he creation of all the living things on earth, that they did not come into being by themselves, but they were created by God. Look at the earth and the sky, look at the birds, animals, and plants, look at the change of day and night. All this is in the full power of Allah, there is no God but Allah. The Oneness of Allah, known as tawhid, is the first and paramount constituent of the Islamic concept, as it is the fundamental truth of the Islamic faith. It is also one of the chief characteristics of the Islamic concept because, among all the belief systems and philosophies cur­rently prevailing among human beings, only the Islamic faith can be characterized as having a pure form of monotheism. The subject of this Surah is to answer the objections of the unbelievers of Makkah regarding Tawhid and the Hereafter and to warn them of the attitude they had adopted towards the invitation of the Qur'an. The time of revelation of this surah has not been stated in any credible tradition. But it is clear from its articles that this Surah was revealed during the period of Surah Dukhan. There is a similarity in the subjects of both. At the end of this Surah, the scene of the horror of the Day of Judgment is presented one feels that the Day of Judgment has already been established and people are falling on their knees due to fear. The purpose of this surah is the call to Islam and the reformation of beliefs.
