Fatir (Arabic: فاطر, fāṭir; meaning: Originator), also known as Al-Mala’ikah (ﺍﻟملائكة, ’al-malā’ikah; meaning: "The Angels"),[2] is the 35th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an with 45 verses (āyāt). Parts of Q35:39-45 are preserved in the Ṣan‘ā’1 lower text.[3]
Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, rather than later in Medina.
