55-59 The story of Lot and the destruction of Sodom
60-68 God, the creator and preserver, more worthy of praise than false gods
69-70 The unbelievers scoff at the warnings of Muhammad
71-72 They shall certainly be destroyed as were those who rejected the prophets of old
73-77 Judgment on the wicked delayed through the mercy of God
78-80 The Qurán decides the points of controversy among the children of Israel
81 Muhammad comforted by the assurance of his integrity
82-83 Reprobate infidels blind to the error of their ways through the Beast of the Earth
84-90 Signs of judgment and doom of unbelievers
91 The righteous secure from the terror of judgment
92 The wicked shall be punished
93-94 Muhammad commanded to worship God, to be a Muslim, and to proclaim the Qurán
95 God will show his signs to true believers[4]
Sura 27 tells stories of the prophets Musa (Moses), Sulayman (Solomon), Saleh, and Lut (Lot) to emphasize the message of tawhid (monotheism) in Arabian and Israelite prophets. The miracles of Moses, described in the Book of Exodus, are mentioned in opposition to the arrogance and kufr (disbelief) of the Pharaoh.[5]
The story of Solomon is most detailed: Solomon converted Queen Bilqis of Saba' (Sheba) to the "true religion" after a hoopoe reported to him that she was a sun-worshipping queen.[6] This sura was likely revealed to address the role of the "Children of Israel" among the believers in Mecca, to emphasize and commend the piety of past prophets, and to distinguish the present Qur'anic message from past traditions.
