Surat az-Zukhruf (Arabic: "Ornaments of Gold, Luxury") is the 43rd surah, or chapter, of the Qur'an, the central religious text of Islam. It contains 89 ayat, or verses. Ornaments of Gold, or Surat Az-Zukhruf, is the 43rd surah of the Qur'an containing a total of 89 verses. Named after the golden ornaments recognized in verse 35 and again in verse 53, this surah dates back to the Second Meccan Period before the Prophet Muhammad’s migration to Medina. According to the Nöldeke Chronology of suras, the Ornaments of Gold was the 61st surah revealed. The Standard Egyptian chronology, however, acknowledges this as the 63rd surah revealed. Regardless of the exact position in which this surah was revealed, it is clear that the sura was revealed during the Second Meccan Period, a time in which Muhammad and his followers were increasingly subject to opposition from the Quraysh tribe. --- Updated: 2018-08-18
