The Glorious Qur`an

45: Crouching (jathiyah)

This chapter was revealed after the previous one called Smoke 44 and before the next one, The Dunes 46, thus continuing the sequence. It contains four sections of 37 late Meccan verses, except for V. 14 which dates from the Madinese period.

The title is to be found in V.28 (IV). There is much moral teaching in this chapter, especially in section II.
