The Glorious Qur`an

14: Abraham (ibrahim)

This chapter consists of 52 verses arranged in seven sections which are all late Meccan, except for vv. 28 & 29 which date from Madina. It was revealed after Noah 71 and before Prophets 21.

The chapter contains two parables, " Ashes in the Wind (III) and The Good and the Bad Tree " (IV). Abraham's famous prayer is found in section VI (VV. 35-41); this is followed by a graphic picture of the Day of Reckoning with which the chapter ends.
