ABSTRACT

THIS cbapter receives its title from the mention of the "kingdom" of God in the first verse. " It is also entitled by some," says Sale, "The Saving or The Delivering, because, say they, it will save him who reads it from the torture of the sepulchre." The contents of the chapter differ little from those of other Makkan Suras. The object of these revelations was to warn the people of the sin of rejecting the doctrine of the Quran, especially the doctrine of the resurrection and future judgment.
