ABSTRACT
THE title given to this chapter is taken from the statement of vers. 71-73, that the Muslims and the infidels should be conducted to heaven and hell "by troops."
As to its contents, this chapter differs little from other Makkan suras. There is the usual assertion of prophetic claims on the part of the Prophet ; the usual declamation against idolatry, with threats of divine wrath against the impenitent ; the usual reference to former prophets, and the destruction of their unbelieving hearers ; and finally, the usual emphatic testimony to the great doctrine of the resurrection, and the contrasted condition of true believers and the infidels after the judgment-day.
