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."
They rank from being very short, a paragraph of less than five verses (for example surah 97, 103, 105, 108 and 111) to being organized in clusters of two (surahs 81, 91), three (surahs 82, 84, 86, 90, 92) or four verses (surahs 85, 89).

Al-Ḥijr (Arabic: الحِجْرْ, lit. 'The Stoneland') [1] is the 15th sūrah (chapter of the Quran).It has 99 āyāt (verses).. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier Meccan surah, received by Muhammad shortly after chapter 12, Yusuf, during his last year in Mecca.
The genre of these surahs has been described as prophylactic incantations, meant to ward off evil, and to be recited in a private as opposed to a public domain. [6] One stylistic feature of the Al-Mu'awwidhatayn, shared only in Surah 1 and Surah 109 elsewhere in the Quran, is the use of the first-person human voice throughout the entire surah. [7]
