Revealed in Madinah, Surah Al-Hadid (The Iron) outlines the relationship between belief, charity, and sacrifice, urging the believers to spend in the path of God. It highlights that God is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, possessing absolute knowledge of everything. The chapter compares the light given to believers on the Day of Judgment to the darkness of the hypocrites, urging humanity to soften their hearts to the remembrance of God before they harden.

Know that the worldly life is only play, and distraction, and glitter, and boasting among you, and rivalry in wealth and children.

While in the Hereafter there is severe agony, and forgiveness from God, and acceptance. The life of this world is nothing but enjoyment of vanity
