The Night is a short chapter towards the end of the Quran that was revealed in Mecca. It contains 21 short verses and it adds yet another dimension to the basic foundations of Islam that are found in all Meccan chapters. The subject matter closely resembles that of the preceding chapter therefore scholars have deduced that they were revealed in roughly the same time period. It looks at two different ways of life and explains the contrast between their ultimate ends. God warns that there are consequences for any path a person chooses to follow. Therefore, He offers us guidance to help us make the correct choices.
