This is a sub-article to Al-Isra. Qur'an 17:26 (also notated Al-Isra, 26) is the twenty-sixth verse of Al-Isra, the seventeenth chapter of the Qur'an, which relates to the controversies of the land of Fadak in modern-day Saudi Arabia. The verse is also known as the Verse of Dhul Qurba [1]
Al-Isra'ʾ (Arabic: الإسراء, lit. 'The Night Journey'), [1] also known as Banī Isrāʾīl (Arabic: بني إسرائيل, lit. 'The Children of Israel'), [2] is the 17th chapter of the Quran, with 111 verses . The word Isra' refers to the Night Journey of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and about the Children of Israel.

Al-Isra (17th) Al-Ala (87th) Among the first five Surahs, the first three, namely Al-Hadid, Al-Hashr and As-Saff commence with the past perfect tense 'sabbaha' "purity has been proclaimed" whilst the last two, namely Al-Jumu'ah and At-Taghabun commence with the imperfect tense yusabbihu [purity is proclaimed].
The word surah was used at the time of Muhammad as a term with the meaning of a portion or a set of verses of the Qur'an. This is evidenced by the appearance of the word surah in multiple locations in the Quran such as verse : "a sûrah which We have revealed and made ˹its rulings˺ obligatory, and revealed in it clear commandments so that you may be mindful."
Al-Kafirun is classified as a Meccan surah, meaning it's believed to have been revealed in Mecca. According to tradition, the surah was revealed when some chieftains of Mecca, including Walid ibn al-Mughira , proposed peace to Muhammad that one year the Muslims would worship pagan gods, and the next year Meccans would worship Allah.
A few commentators disagree with this account, claiming that the first revelation was the beginning of surat al-Muddaththir or surat al-Fatiha, but theirs is a minority position. Moreover, the term إِنْسَان insān , which is translated "man, human", appears 65 times in the Qur'an, meaning "humanity".
