In the said surah; It is noteworthy that quite a lot of topics are covered, which touch on the improvement of society, the preservation of the family, and the establishment of a just state. Most of the verses that make up this surah were revealed at a time when the strife between the Muslims and the Quraysh tribe subsided to a certain extent.
