Summary

Surah Fussilat emphasizes the Quran's nature as a clearly explained revelation. It presents scientific signs in the universe's creation ('Then He turned to the sky while it was smoke' - 41:11) as proofs of Tawheed. The Surah describes the disbelievers' physiological reactions to truth (goosebumps, aversion) and warns of the 'Smoke' (Dukhan) as a future sign.
