The first twenty verses discuss the wonders of the worldly creation (the earth, plants, the peace of night, the mountains and rain); Q78:1-5 Unbelievers shall yet learn the truth of the resurrection; 78:6-16 God the Creator and Preserver of all things. [Q78:17-20] describes Judgment-day scenes.[3]

The latter twenty verses are about the eternal wonders and horrors of the next world with the raging sinner (the Arabic root TGY "tageena" is used) being punished starkly opposed with the rewarding of dutiful believers (the Arabic root WQY "mutaqeena" is employed as a poetic parataxis to TGY) in paradise.[4]

Hadith
gollark: PotatOS is MIT-licensed, so it has that, as well as some extra clauses like> If any provision of this policy is found by a court (or other entity) to be unenforceable, it nevertheless remains in force. This organization is not liable and this agreement shall not be construed. We are not responsible for any issue whatsoever at all arising from use of potatOS, potatOS services, anything at all, or otherwise.and> You are responsible for anything which potatOS might do to your things. You ran it. It is all your fault. We are not liable, ethically, morally, existentially, financially or legally, for anything whatsoever.for safety.
gollark: Maybe the ATL license but with a "NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER" bit.
gollark: I'm now imagining having a bunch of highly-paid corporate lawyers trying to figure out exactly what circumstances they can use some software in based on the day of the week.
gollark: Good idea! It could switch between them.
gollark: Hmm, maybe I could have something where the applicable set of licenses is deterministically chosen based on the current date or something.
