Most of these short surahs were revealed at the beginning of the Makkan period, when the Muslim community was timid and small in number. Over time, they faced rejection and intimidation from the pagan population and leadership of Makkah.
Summary
These early Makkan surahs were revealed at a time when Muslims were small in number, and in need of confirmation and support. The passages remind the believers of Allah's mercy, and the promise that in the end, good will prevail over evil. They describe the power of Allah to create the universe and everything in it. The Quran is described as a revelation of spiritual guidance, and the coming Judgment Day as a time when believers will be rewarded. Believers are advised to be patiently perseverant, remaining strong in what they believe.
These chapters also contain plenty of firm reminders of Allah's wrath upon those who reject faith. For example, in Surah Al-Mursalat (77th chapter) there is a verse which is repeated ten times: "Oh, woe to the rejectors of Truth!" Hell is often described as a place of suffering for those who deny the existence of God and those who demand to see "proof."
This entire juz' has a special name and a special place in Islamic practice. This juz' is often called juz' amma, a name which reflects the first word of the first verse of this section (78:1). It is usually the first part of the Quran that children and new Muslims learn to read, although it comes at the end of the Quran. This is because the chapters are shorter and easier to read/grasp, and the messages revealed in this section are most fundamental to a Muslim's faith.
