Sura al-Nabaʾ is concerned with the [[resurrection]] and its events, and the condition of [[Sin|sinner]]s and good people on that day. Its well-known [[verse]]s are verses 31 onwards concerning the [[pious]] people after the resurrection. Some [[hadiths]] take the "pious" in these verses to refer to [[Amir al-Mu'minin (a)]]. | Sura al-Nabaʾ is concerned with the [[resurrection]] and its events, and the condition of [[Sin|sinner]]s and good people on that day.

Sura al-Naba' talks about a great event or news, that is, the [[resurrection]], arguing for its truth and indubitability. The sura begins by saying that people ask each other about the news of resurrection. It is followed by the warning that they will soon know about it. | Sura al-Naba' talks about a great event or news, that is, the [[resurrection]], arguing for its truth and indubitability.

The sura goes on to prove the truth of the resurrection. The world with its intelligent design is the best evidence for there being an [[Afterlife]] after this mortal world, which is the day of [[reward]] and [[punishment]], rather than action. Then the events of the resurrection are characterized in this sura: all people will be present there and transgressors will endure a painful punishment and the pious will be rewarded with a permanent blessing. | The sura goes on to prove the truth of the resurrection.

Thus, God forbade the Prophet (s) from talking to them. One day, the Prophet (s) was talking to his [[Sahaba]] when one of the [[polytheists]] went to him and the Prophet (s) stopped talking. Then polytheists gathered and told him, "O Muhammad! Your talks are strange. We like to hear it". But the Prophet (s) said: "God has forbidden me from talking with you". Then the verse, "about what are they asking each other? About a great news", was revealed. | ||
