The surah expresses our passionate feeling of gratitude to Allah.

This feeling overwhelms, or ought to overwhelm, all sensible people who are willing to reflect upon His providence and His infinite compassion, mercy and justice – manifest in diverse forms and manners in life and the universe around us.

From this intense sense of gratitude, there springs a desire in the human being to adore and worship Allah alone, and to call upon Him alone for help and guidance.

The surah deals with the human quest and craving for guidance that is, or should be, generated in the heart as a result of this overwhelming sense of gratitude to Allah, the real Benefactor and Sustainer.
