The larger part of this surah is devoted to stories of earlier prophets, beginning with Zachariah and how he was given a son in his old age. This is followed by the story of the birth of Jesus to his virgin mother, Mary. It establishes the truth of Jesus, leaving no room for argument about his human status. A portion of Abraham’s history is then told, concentrating on his call on his father to believe in God and to ascribe no aspect of Godhead to anyone else. These stories are then followed by brief references to several prophets, concluding with a statement outlining the nature of the prophethood. The final third of the surah is devoted to a discussion of life after death. It mentions what happens when people are resurrected and how their fate is sealed. It presents particularly powerful description of the universe as it denounces the very idea of associating partners with God. Mary Kaf. Ha. Ya. [Ayn. Sad.
