Blurb:

This sūra begins with a warning of approaching judgment, and condemns idolatry in the face of God’s power and providence. Its second half is comprised of a series of stories about earlier ‘prophets’ (Q21.48–91), from which Q21 receives its title. Many of these prophets have counterparts among biblical figures.
