Surah An-Nahl (The Opener)

This is the 70th Surah according to the order of revelation.  This is one of the late Makki Surahs revealed sometime before the Hijrah.  This and previous six Surahs (Yunus, Hud, Yusuf, al-Ra'd, Ibrahim and al-Hijr) were revealed one after another.  The time period and themes are similar.  This Surah has 128 verses in 16 sections.

The Surah speaks about Allah's creative power.  Everything in the universe points to Allah.  There is coherence and balance in Allah's creation.
