Style

Style
--The surah is in the form of a supplication.

--Its style is not didactic; it does not teach us how to supplicate.

--Rather, the supplication itself is made to flow off our tongues as a spontaneous hymn springing from the very core of our being.

--The words of the hymn are revealed by Allah, the Creator of human beings, so there can hardly be a more authentic expression of human nature.

--These words strike the deepest chord and resonate in the hearts of all decent, upright persons. Only the depraved and the perverse, the tainted and the corrupt – fail to recognize and appreciate this obvious truth and feel alienated from it as a result.
