==Timing and contextual background of revelation== Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (''[[asbāb al-nuzūl]]''), it is an earlier "[[Meccan surah]]", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. According to some, it follows [[sūrah 94]] in the chronological order of the Quran.<ref>Joseph E. B. Lumbard, "Introduction to ''Sūrat al-'Aṣr''" in ''The Study Quran'', ed. S. H. Nasr, Maria M.
