The most important thing to be noted about this sūrah is its preponderant narration of events that took place in the past. First we have the story of the sleepers in the cave, followed by that of the man with two gardens, then a reference to Adam and Satan. In the middle of the sūrah we see what happened between Moses and the pious man, and at the end there is an account of Dhu’l-Qarnayn. These stories form the major part of the sūrah, taking 71 out of its 110 verses. Most of the remaining verses comment on the stories and outline the lessons to be learnt from them. In addition, the sūrah also contains some scenes of the Day of Judgement, and others drawn from human life to explain an idea or emphasize a concept. In all these, we see examples of the Qur’ānic method of emphasizing its ideas through vivid imagery.
