The Surah deals with the fundamentals of the faith and the power of Allah in nature. Sun, the moon, the earth, mountains, rivers and life itself are cited as evidence for the existence of God:

" [ ... ] In it are Signs for those who reflect. [ ... ] In it are signs for a people who understand. "

In addition, the Qur'an deals with the fact that reward and punishment of the people are a result of divine guidance and cause and effect are closely linked.

"He sends ( and flashes ) thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills. They argue about Allah, seeing that he ( himself yet so powerful and showing ) is full of malice. "
