Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it has been revealed in Mecca, rather than later in Medina.
InIslamic tradition, Quran 42:51 serves as the basis of understanding for Revelation in Islam (waḥy).
Based on this verse, Islamic scholars have described three ways in which God's revelation can reach His chosen individuals, especially prophets.[4]
