23: Believer's

This chapter of six sections contains 118 late Meccan verses. all in fact excep t for
the very last one. It was revealed after Prophets 21 and before Worship 32
and The Inevitable 56. It takes its name from the first sentence in the chapter
(NOTE that Chapter 40 has an alternate title, The Believer. with the same noun
used in the singular).
The mood here is somewhat poetic with its initial vision of creation and man's
reproduction; then it relates God's transcendent care in providing for mankind
and the Universe. Noah's mission is mentioned next (II), followed by a description
of the final reward in an inspiring scene (IV). Then one follows on God in all His
Oneness (V), which continues to the end of the chapter.
