About Surah Al-Hijr
Named after the rocky region inhabited by the Thamud people, who carved dwellings into mountains and were destroyed for rejecting Prophet Salih, this surah also retells the creation of Adam, Iblis's (Satan's) refusal to bow to him, and his vow to mislead humanity. A central promise in this surah is God's guarantee to preserve the Quran itself from corruption — a verse frequently cited regarding the text's textual history. The chapter closes by instructing the Prophet to be patient and gentle with believers while delivering his message openly.
