Al-Kawthar (Arabic: الكوثر, "Abundance")[1] is the 108th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. It is the shortest chapter, consisting of three ayat or verses:

۝[2] We have given thee abundance [3]۝ So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him alone].[4][5]۝ Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off.[6]

There are several different opinions as the timing and contextual background of its supposed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl). According to Ibn Ishaq, it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, sometime before the Isra and Mi'raj.
