The text attempts to issue a timeless warning about greed, but structures its timeline around an immediate, unfolding historical observation rather than an uncreated decree.
Surah 102:1-2:
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you, until you visit the graveyards.
The Historical Critique: According to classical commentaries (Tafsir Al-Tabari), this surah was revealed to address a specific, localized practice among rival Meccan clans (such as Sahm and Abd Manaf). They would boast about their numbers and wealth, and when they ran out of living members to count, they would literally go to the local cemeteries to count the graves of their dead ancestors to artificially inflate their clan's tribal statistics.
An eternal heavenly book written before time began does not structure its cosmic warnings around the petty, bizarre counting habits of 7th-century Arabian tribesmen. The highly reactive phrasing proves that a human observer was responding directly to immediate, localized socio-political antics in Mecca.
