Al-Anbiya

Holy Quran

Al-Anbiyāʼ, properly pronounced: Al-Ambiyāʼ (Arabic: الْأَنْبِيَاء, "The Prophets") is the 21st chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with 112 verses (āyāt). Regarding the timing and contextual background of the supposed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. Its principal subject matter is prophets of the past, who also preached the same faith as Muhammad. Q21:1-40 the oneness of God Affirm the revelation and commits Muhammad to his role as the chosen prophet. It declares the oneness of God in his creation.
