The first twenty verses discuss the wonders of the worldly creation (the earth, plants, the peace of night, the mountains and rain); the final twenty verses are about the eternal wonders and horrors of the next world, with the raging sinner (the Arabic
triliteral root TGY "taagheena" is used) being punished starkly opposed with the rewarding of dutiful believers in paradise.[3] The Arabic triliteral root WQY "muttaqeena" is employed as a poetic
parataxis to TGY).[citation needed]
