About Surah As-Saffat
Opening with an oath referring to angels arranged in ranks, this surah moves through several prophetic accounts — Noah, Abraham (including the moving account of his willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God), Moses, Aaron, Elijah, Lot, and Jonah. A recurring refrain throughout is God's protection and support of His sincere servants against their opponents. The surah closes by affirming that all messengers were truly sent and that final victory belongs to God's servants.
