Al-Ḥijr (Arabic: الحِجْرْ, lit. 'The Stoneland') is the 15th Quranic chapter (sūrah). It has 99 verses (āyāt).

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier Meccan surah, believed to have been received by the Islamic prophet Muhammad shortly after chapter 12, Yusuf, during his last year in Mecca. Like other surahs of this period, it praises God. Parts of Q15:4-74 are preserved in the Ṣan‘ā’1 lower text.
