99: The Earthquake

These S early Meccan (or possibly Madinese) verses were revealed after Women 4, about the same time as The Stunning [Blow) 101 and Eventide 103 but
before Iron 57. One should also SEE 22:(I) about this earthquake which will
announce Doomsday, and 7:(X)for how this happened with Thamud. The apocalyptic
mood is conveyed through the use of assonance.
