17 suwer of the Qur’an begin with oaths, where God swears by various aspects of creation. An oath is normally used to convince the listener about the truthfulness and/or importance of what one is saying. In this case the speaker is Divinity who is Truth itself, therefore the oath is making a focus on the subject that it is swearing by and its following ayaat. (Arabs used to swear on random objects to draw the attention of people). The suwer are:
37. Al-Saffat
51. Al-Dhariyat
52. Al-Tur
53. Al-Najm
75. Al-Qiyama
77. Al-Mursalat
79. Al-Nazi’at
85. Al-Buruj
86. Al-Tariq
89. Al-Fajr
90. Al-Balad
91. Al-Shams
92. Al-Layl
93. Al-Dhuha
95. Al-Tin
100. Al-‘Adiyat
103. Al-‘Asr
93. Al-Dhuha and 94. Al-Inshirah form a pair and therefore Suratul Inshira has been placed near Qasam Close (across the road) so that it can be with its partner.
