This surah commands prophet Muhammad to rise and preach Islam. It instructs believers to maintain cleanliness, monotheism, humility, and patience in his own life.

The middle part of the surah warns unbelievers for rejection of God's word and the excruciating consequences that result. God has given everything to humans and they still greedily ask for more.

God uses the word “Saqar” to describe hell as the word means scorched and continues to describe features of Hell.

The final part of the surah repeats the main message of Quran, Quran is just a reminder, and a warner, whoever wants it will accept it and no one can accept the truth and become a believer unless God wills it.
