Introduction

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds Who said to His noble Prophet, "We relate to you (O Muhammad) the best stories through Our Revelations unto, of this Quran. And before this (i.e. before the coming of Divine Inspiration to you), you were among those who knew nothing about it (the Quran)." (Ch 12:3). Peace and blessings be upon His Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad, his family, companions, and those who follow their path till the Day of Judgment.
The Prophets were sent by Allah the Almighty with Divine Revelation to call their people to worship Allah alone without associating any partner to Him. Their mission was difficult and full of challenges and severe hardships because they effort to call people to the path of Allah met strong opposition from their people, especially from the rich, the elite, and ignorant from their communities. The Holy Quran has narrated to us their stories and their struggle in their mission of counseling their people to the Right Path.
This chapter focuses on the period after Adam (peace and blessings be upon him). The chapter covers the envy of devil towards the sons of Adam and the cunning of devil in his effort to misguide them. It also describes how Satan leads the sons of Adam to make pictures of Good people; then drive them from making pictures to making statuses of these righteous people; from statuses to the idols; and finally to the anger of Allah.
