1. The surah begins with the letters Ha Mim as a sign from Allah and affirms that the Quran was revealed on a blessed night as a warning for people. 2. It references Pharaoh and his people who were warned by Moses but denied and disobeyed him. Pharaoh was arrogant and punished along with his people. 3. The surah asserts that Allah created the heavens, earth, and all that exists between for a serious purpose, not play, and that the Day of Judgment is appointed for all when no one can help another except those Allah has mercy on.
