Surat al-Anbiya' (Arabic: "The Prophets") is the 21st surah of the Qur'an with 112 ayat. It is a Makkan surah. Its principal subject matter is prophets of the past, who also preached the same faith as Muhammad. This surah was revealed in the Second Meccan Period and is listed as Number 65 according to the Nöldeke Chronology. Within its verses are found numerous evocations of earlier Judeo-Christian prophets. These examples help to emphasize and define Muhammad's role as a messenger within the Qur'anic context. Additionally, the incorporation of pre-existing Biblical and Judaic scriptures integrate Muhammad's prophetic mission into a larger religious framework, thus broadening the horizons of both the Qur'an as a text and Islam as a religious movement. The surah is thematically and stylistically characteristic of the Second Meccan Period.
