092- AL-LAYL
THE NIGHT
Al-Layl is an early Makkan sūrah, often considered the ninth in the chronological order of revelation. Some maintain that it is from the Madinan period, while others see it as part Makkan and part Madinan. Like the previous sūrah, it takes its name from the first oath that God takes in the sūrah. Similar to the first ten verses of the preceding sūrah, the first three verses of this sūrah focus upon the polarity inherent to the created order.
The central theme is one found in many of the shorter sūrahs, that human beings have diverse ends. The remainder of the sūrah then emphasizes the disparity between those who perform good deeds and those who perform evil deeds and the opposite ends to which these courses lead.
