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.
