Description
This sūra opens with the Prophet being urged to spend the night attending to the Qur’ān. This is followed by a warning to the people and an appeal for belief. It concludes with a modification of what was imposed at the beginning of the sūra. Q73 receives its title from the opening address to the Prophet as ‘the one wrapped up in his robe.’
