Al-Ḥijr (Arabic: الحِجْرْ, lit. 'The Stoneland')[1] is the 15th sūrah (chapter of the Quran). It has 99 āyāt (verses).
Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an Meccan surah revealed during the mid period and received by Muhammad shortly after chapter 12, Yusuf, during his last year in Mecca. Like other surahs of this period, it praises God. Parts of Q15:4-74 are preserved in the Ṣan‘ā’1 lower text.[2]
This surah takes its name from 80th verse (āyah),[3] which refers to Mada'in Saleh, a pre-Islamic archaeological site, also called Hegra (from Arabic: الحِجَارَة, romanized: al-ḥijāra, lit. 'the Stones') or al-Ḥijr (Arabic: الحِجر, romanized: al-ḥijr, lit. 'the Stone').
