About Surah At-Tur
Named after Mount Sinai (Tur), where God spoke to Moses, this surah opens with a series of solemn oaths affirming that the promised punishment for disbelief is certain to occur. It describes the reality of Judgment Day and the rewards awaiting the righteous in Paradise, and responds to accusations from the Meccans that Muhammad was a poet, a soothsayer, or simply making the Quran up, challenging them to produce something comparable if that were true.
