Kufic fragment of Sura Sad, lines 62–64, late 9th century C.E. Surah Ṣad (Arabic: ص, Ṣād; "The Letter Sad") is the 38th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an with 88 verses (āyāt) and 1 sajdah ۩ (38:24). Sad (ص ) is the name of the eighteenth letter in the Arabic alphabet.
According to the traditional Islamic narrative, the surah was sent to the Islamic prophet Muhammad by God while he was coping with rejection from his tribe, the Quraysh. It recounts stories of previous prophets, describes the splendors of heaven, and warns of the monstrosities of hell.
