This chapter contains 59 middle Meccan verses aranged in three sections which were again revealed in sequence, after the previous chapter on Luxury 43 and before the next one on Crouching 45. The title comes from the reference in V.

It ends with another description, first of Hell, and then of Heaven (III).
