1. Power; Arguing the Deniers · 1–12

2. The Reward of the Steadfast · 13–14

5. The Story of Hud · 21–28
   Remember the brother of 'Ad when he warned his people at al-Ahqaf; when they saw a cloud approaching their valleys they said: a cloud bringing rain — rather, it is what you hastened: a wind with painful torment.

6. The Belief of the Jinn · 29–32
