About Surah As-Saf
As-Saff calls believers to unity and consistency between their words and actions, criticizing those who say what they do not do, and encourages standing firm "in ranks" for what is right, like a solid structure. It includes a reference to Jesus foretelling the coming of a messenger after him named Ahmad, understood in Islamic tradition as a prophecy of Muhammad, and closes by describing sincere striving in God's cause as a means of salvation.
