39: Throngs

This rapidly moving chapter was revealed after Sheba 34 and before the next one
called The Believer or The Forgiving [God] 40. It consists of eight sections
of 75 Meccan verses except for VV. 52-54 (V-VI) which may date from Madina.
The chapter begins with an admonition against the sin off associating anything
or anyone in our pure worship of God (I), and then it shows how such intercession
is void (V). A majestic picture paints God's role in the world (VI). Watch for its
dramatic ending which describes Heaven and Hell as the Throngs march there
in two separate companies, the saved and the damned (VIII).
