Revealed in Makkah, Surah An-Najm (The Star) confirms the divine nature of the Prophet's visions, detailing his miraculous night journey and ascension to the highest heavens (Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary). It refutes pagan myths regarding angels as daughters of God and the worship of idols like Lat and Uzza. The Surah emphasizes that every individual is only responsible for their own actions, calling for prostration and submission to God.
