It is usually divided into 114 chapters or Suras of unequal (decreasing) size counting from the 2nd one. Theological proclamation (kerygma) and polemics, moral reflection and paraenesis and legal advices, naturalistic poetry and apocalyptic discourses frame its complex and rather discontinuous style.
