Surah Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets)

This is a Makki Surah revealed in the middle Makkan period about 6-7 years before the Hijrah.  It has 227 verses in 11 sections.

The non-believers were asking for signs to prove that the Qur'an was the word of Allah.  Allah mentioned many signs both in nature and in history.  Stories of many prophets are also mentioned to indicate that all prophets presented basically the same message.
