In the following verses, the surah explains that the existence of the Quran can not be doubted and is a revelation of Allah SWT, that is passed on and is revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW through the intermediary of Jibril. Al-Quran is revealed as a guide for those who are pious, the people who keep Allah's commandments and stay away from His prohibitions.
