History and Background of Surah Ad-Dukhan

Surah Ad-Dukhan is a Makki Surah revealed in Makkah during the period when the Quraysh were strongly opposing the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was revealed after Surah Al-Zukhruf. The Surah takes its name from the word “Dukhan” (Smoke) mentioned in verse 10, referring to a severe punishment in the form of smoke that would cover the sky — a warning to the disbelievers of Makkah. Some scholars also relate it to the smoke that appeared during the famine in Makkah as a sign.
