Fatir

The blue Koran, parchment, 10. – 11. Century: Surat Fāṭir, verses 1-4. Original in the National Museum of Bardo , Tunisia .

Fatir ( Arabic فاطر Fāṭir '(The) Creator') is the 35th sura of the Koran , it contains 45 verses . The preaching of the sura falls in the third Meccan period (620–622). She is sometimes also called al-Malāʾika (ﺍﻟملائكة / 'The Angels'). Both titles refer to the first verse in which God is extolled as "the creator of the heavens and the earth" and the angels.

Most of the themes of the sura are often found in the Meccan period: omnipotence, grace, creative power and extensive knowledge of God, human dependence on God, miracles of creation, prophetic mission of Muhammad as messenger of joy and warner, obstinacy of the unbelievers and confrontation between them and the believers , retribution in the hereafter after the works. The “enlightening book” mentioned in verse 25 is associated by Zamachshari with the Torah , the Gospel and the Book of Psalms .
