4-7 Description of the torments of hell
8-16 The joyful state of the Muslims on the judgment-day
17-20 God manifests himself in his works
21-22 Muhammad only to warn, not to rule over, the infidels
23-26 God will himself punish the unbelievers [1]
This surah refers to three broad-ranging topics. The first, God describes the difference between good and evil paths that an individual can take and the consequence of each path. He then clarifies their destiny and describes what hell would be like for the non-believers. The second theme mentions the creations God has made and referring to the sky, the earth, and the mountains. Lastly, In verses 21–22, God gives a direct message to Prophet Muhammad and tells him, "So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. You are not over them a controller."[2]
