SŪRAH AL-HADĪD
(The Iron)
This Sūrah is Madani, and comprises 29 'ayat (verses)
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful
All that is in the heavens and the earth proclaims Allah's purity, and He
is the Mighty, the Wise. [1] To Him belongs the Kingdom of the heavens
and the earth. He gives life and brings death, and He is Powerful to do
any thing. [2] He is the First and the Last, and the Manifest and the
Hidden, 1 and He is All-Knowing about every thing. [3] He is the One
who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He positioned
Himself on the Throne. He knows whatever goes into the earth and
whatever comes out from it, and whatever descends from the sky, and
whatever ascends thereto. He is with you wherever you are, and Allah is
watchful of whatever you do. [4] To Him belongs the kingdom of the
heavens and the earth, and to Allah all matters are returned. [5] He
makes the night enter into the day, and makes the day enter into the
night, and He is All-Knowing about whatever lies in the hearts. [6]
1) He is the First, because nothing existed before Him, and He is the Last in
the sense that when the whole universe will perish, He will remain as alive as

Sūrah Al-Hadid 57:7-9
ءَامِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَأَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا جَعَلَكُم ◌ُسْتَخْلَفِينَ فِيَّةٍ قَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنْكُمُ
وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا نُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولُ يَدْعُوكُتْ لِنُؤْمِنُوْ
وَأَنْفَقُوْ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ
هُوَ الَّذِى يُنَزِّلُ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ:
بِرَبِّكُمْ وَقَدْ أَخَذَ مِشَقَكُمْ إِن كُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ
ءَايَتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ لِيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُمْ لَّرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and spend out of that (wealth) in
which He has appointed you as deputies. 2 So, for those of you who have
believed and spent (in Allah's way), there is a big reward. [7] What is
wrong with you that you do not believe in Allah, while the Messenger
invites you to believe in your Lord, and He has taken your covenant, if
you are to believe? [8] He is the One who reveals clear verses to His
servant, so that He brings you out from layers of darkness into the light.
And to you, Allah is Very-Kind indeed, Very-Merciful. [9]
He is today. He is manifest, because the proofs of His existence are evident in
every part of the universe, but He is hidden because no one has ever seen Him,
and the accurate nature of His Being and His attributes is beyond human
comprehension.
2) The original word used in the text is mustakhlifin which has two meanings:
'deputies' and 'successors'. Taken in the first meaning, the verse indicates that
the wealth held by human beings originally belongs to Allah, but He has made
them His deputies or representatives to use it according to His directions:
Although He has allowed them to use it for their own benefit, it should always
be subject to the rules prescribed by Him in Shari'ah. Once it is believed that
one is not the absolute owner of this wealth, it should not be difficult for him
to spend according to the command of its absolute Owner. This is the
interpretation of the verse according to the majority of commentators.
However, some other exegetes have taken the word mustakhlifin in the sense of
'successors'. In this case the verse reminds us that whatever wealth we have in
our hands today has reached us from other people who owned it before us. We
have succeeded them in its ownership, and ultimately it will be passed on to
some others through any mode of transfer including inheritance. All kinds of
wealth are thus in transit, moving from one person to another. Therefore, one
should not hesitate in spending it in Allah's way, because it has to be passed on
to some others in any case.

Sūrah Al-Hadid 57:10-13
وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلَّا تُنْفِقُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيَرَثُ السَّمَوَتِ وَالْأَرْضِّ لَا يَسْتَوِى مِنْكُمْ مَنْ
أَنْفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَتَلَّ أُوْلَئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أَنْفَقُواْ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوأَ
مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا
وَكُلَّ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَىَّ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
يَوْمَ تَرَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَتِ يَسْعَى نُرُهُم
حَسَنَّا فَيُضَعِفَهُ، لَهُ، وَلَهُ: أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ
بَيْنَ أَيْدِيِهِمْ وَبِأَيْفَتِهِ بُشْرَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ جَنَّتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْنِهَا الْأَنْهَرُ خَالِدِينَ فِيَأْ ذَلِكَ هُوَ
يَوْمَ يَقُولُ الْمُنَفِقُونَ وَالْمُنَفِقَثُ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ أَنْظُرُونَا نَقْنَبِسْ مِن نُّوْرِكُمْ
اُلْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
And what is wrong with you that you should not spend in the way of
Allah, while to Allah belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the
earth? Those who spent before the Conquest (of Makkah) and fought are
not at par (with others). Those are much greater in rank than those who
spent later and fought, though Allah has promised the good (reward) for
each. 3 Allah is well aware of what you do. [10] Who is there to advance a
loan, a good loan, to Allah 4 so that He multiplies it for him, and he may
have a noble reward? [11]
On the Day when you will see the believing men and the believing women,
their light proceeding in front of them and to their right hands, (it will be
said to them,) "Good news for you today! Gardens beneath which rivers
flow, to live therein forever! That is the great achievement, [12] __ the
Day when the hypocrite men and hypocrite women.will say to those who
believe, "Wait for us, so that we may have a share from your light." 5
3) Before the conquest of Makkah, Muslims faced many hardships. Spending
money and fighting enemies in those days required greater sacrifice than it
required after the conquest of Makkah when they became much more stable in
all respects. Hence the former deserved more reward than the latter.
4) 'Good loan' refers to any charitable expenditure. It has been termed as a
'loan to Allah' because Allah will repay it in the Hereafter.
5) This is the light that will be needed for proceeding towards Paradise.
According to some reports, the hypocrites will be given some light at the outset,
because they pretended to be believers, but after some distance, they will loose
the light because in fact they had no faith in Islam. At that point they will request

Sūrah Al-Hadid 57:14-16
قِيلَ أَرْجِعُواْ وَرَآءَكُمْ فَالْتَمِسُوْ نُرَّا فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُم بِسُورٍ لَّهُ بَابُ بَاطِنُهُ فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ
يُنَادُونَهُمْ أَمْ تَكُن مَعَكُمْ قَالُواْ بَى وَلَكِنَّكُمْ فَنْتُمْ
وَظَهِرُهُ مِن قِبَلِهِ الْعَذَابُ
أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَضْتُمْ وَأَرْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الْأَمَانِىُّ حَتَّى جَآءَ أَمْرُ الَّهِ وَغَرَّكُمْ بِلَّهِ الْغَرُورُ
فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْكُمْ فِيَةٌ وَلَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مَأْوَنَكُمُ النَّارِ هِىَ
﴿أَلَمَّ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ
مَوْلَئِكُمْ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُواْ كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِنَبَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ
اُلْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَسِقُونَ
It will be said (to them), "Go back to your rear, and search for light."
Then a wall will be placed between them, which will have a gate. In its
inner side, there will be the divine mercy, while towards its outer side,
there will be the divine punishment. [13] They (the hypocrites) will call
out to them (the believers), "Were we not with you?" They will say, "Yes,
(you were,) but you led your souls to a wrong way, and kept waiting (for
an evil end to the Muslims), and remained in doubt, and were deluded by
fancies, until Allah's command came to pass, and you were deceived
about Allah by the Big Deceiver (Iblis). [14] So, no ransom will be
accepted from you today, nor from those who disbelieved (openly). Your
abode is the Fire, and it is an evil end." [15]
Has the time not yet come for those who believe that their hearts should
be humble for the remembrance of Allah and for the truth that has
descended (through revelation)? They must not be like those to whom
the Book was given before, but a long period passed on them (in which
they did not repent), therefore their hearts became hard, and (thus) many
of them are sinners. 6 [16]
the true believers to wait for them so that they may proceed in their company.
6) This is a warning for the believers who, despite embracing Islam, do not
practice it and are involved in sinful acts. They should not follow the precedent
of the Jews or the Christians who, despite believing in the divine books,
violated the instructions given therein and did not care to repent until their
hearts became too hard to have the ability to repent, and died as sinners; rather

أَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا قَدْ بَيَّنَا لَكُمُ الْآَيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
إِنَّ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ وَالْمُصَّدِّقَتِ وَأَقْرَضُوْ اَللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا يُضَعَفُ لَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ

أَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّمَا الْحَيَوَةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبُ وَلَهُوٌ وَزِينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ

Know well that Allah revives the land after its death. We have made the
signs clear for you, so that you may understand. 7 [17]
Surely those men who give sadaqah (alms) and those women who give
sadaqah and have advanced a good loan to Allah, for them it will be
multiplied, and for them there is a noble reward. [18] And those who
believed in Allah and His messengers, - those are the Siddiqs (the most
righteous after prophets ) and the Shuhada' (martyrs) in the sight of
your Lord. For them shall be their reward and their light. As for those who
disbelieved and rejected Our verses, they are the inmates of Hell. [19]
Know well that the worldly life is but a play and an amusement, and a show
of beauty, and exchange of boastful claims between you, and a competition
of increase in riches and children. 8 (All this is) like a rain, the growth of
which attracts the farmers, then it withers, and you see it turning yellow,
their persistent violation of divine injunctions led them in some cases to
become open unbelievers. That is why some commentators have taken the
word 'sinners' in this verse in the meaning of unbelievers.
7) The aforesaid believers who are involved in sinful acts are reminded in this
verse that they should never be disappointed by the huge size of their sins,
because if they truly repent before Allah, He will forgive them and will purify
them once again, as He revives a dead land by showering rains upon it.
Similarly, He showers His mercy upon those who make true taubah against their
sins, however numerous their sins may be.
8) The verse spells out different stages of human life in this world. In early
childhood, man is attracted by toys and amusements. Then in his youth, he is

then it becomes straw. And in the Hereafter there is a severe punishment
(for the disbelievers), and forgiveness from Allah and (Allah's) pleasure (for
the believers and the righteous). The worldly life is nothing but a material
of delusion. [20] Compete each other in proceeding towards forgiveness
from your Lord and to Paradise the width of which is like the width of the
sky and the earth. It has been prepared for those who believe in Allah and
His messengers. That is the bounty of Allah; He gives it to whomsoever
He Wills and Allah is the Lord of the great bounty. [21] No calamity befalls
the earth or your own selves, but it is (pre-destined) in a Book before We
bring it into being, __ Indeed it is easy for Allah. [22]_so that you may
neither grieve on what has escaped you, nor over-exult on what He has
given to you. 9 And Allah does not love any self-admirer, over-proud, [23]
more interested in displaying his beauty and decor. When he is more mature, he
is involved in showing his superiority over others. Lastly, he is more interested
in competing others in his riches and children. The lesson given is that interests
of a human being are ever changing. Something taken by him as most favourite
at a certain age looses its value in his next age, so much so that he often laughs
at it in the next phase of his life. Similarly, when he will see Allah's bounties in
the Hereafter, he will realize that all attractive luxuries of the worldly life were
no more than a delusion, and more worthless than a toy that attracts a child in
his infancy, then makes him laugh at it in his youth.

We have indeed sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and sent down
with them the Book and the Balance, so that people may uphold equity.
And We sent down iron in which there is strong power, and benefits for the
people; 10 and (We did it) so that Allah knows the one who helps Him and
His messengers without seeing (Him). Surely Allah is Strong, Mighty. [25]
Indeed We sent Nuh and Ibrahim, and kept the Book and prophet-hood
(continuing) in their progeny. So, some of those (to whom they were
sent) were on the right path, and many of them were sinners. [26]
extreme grief on a good thing he has missed. Nor does he become over-exultant
on a good thing he has achieved. For, in the first case, he knows that whatever
has happened was predestined by Allah, and in the latter case, he believes that
it was Allah who made it possible through Predestination that he could achieve
the thing he is pleased with. In both cases, his own role is limited to certain
extent beyond which he should neither grieve nor exult.
10) Balance is a symbol of equity, justice and moderation between the extremes
of deficiency and excess. The books sent to the messengers contain balanced
rules according to the needs of their particular time and age. The objective of
the Books is to establish justice and balance. But if people do not accept the
guidance provided by the messengers and the divine books, and persist on their
injustice and imbalanced attitude, iron is created to be used as deterrent and to
give relief to the people oppressed by their unjust attitude. In peaceful
conditions, however, iron is a source of other benefits for humanity.

Then We made Our messengers follow them one after the other, then We
sent after them 'Isa, the son of Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary), and gave
him the Injil, and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of his
followers. As for monasticism, it was invented by them; We did not
ordain it for them, but (they adopted it) to seek Allah's pleasure, then
could not observe it as was due. 11 So We gave the believers from among
them their reward. And many of them are sinners. [27] O you who
believe, fear Allah, and believe in His Messenger, and He will give you
two shares (of reward) out of His mercy, and will make for you a light
whereby you will walk, and will forgive you, __ And Allah is Most-
Forgiving, Very-Merciful. [28]
11) 'Monasticism' is the translation of rahbaniyyah. It means a particular way of
life based on the philosophy that Allah's pleasure cannot be achieved unless one
abandons worldly pleasures. Adherents to monasticism, termed as monks, do
not marry, do not eat delicious foods and prefer to live in seclusion from other
people. In the beginning, it was some pious followers of the noble prophet 'Īsa
who, disappointed from the majority of the wicked people, secluded
themselves, so that they might observe the requirements of their faith without
any influence of those wicked people. Their objective was to seek Allah's
pleasure, but gradually many undue restrictions were imposed by later
generations upon themselves, and the institutions like marriage, having children
etc. were totally abolished. Being against human nature, these restrictions not
only created many immoral activities among them, but also hindered their way
to accept the Holy Prophet Muhammad 2 as a messenger, because he could

not endorse the inventions they had made in religion. However, some of them
who realized their error, embraced Islam whole heartedly.
12) Relevance of this statement in the present context is two fold. Firstly, many
people from the Jews and the Christians did not believe in the Holy Prophet
because of jealousy. They were annoyed with the fact that the last messenger
should be raised from the children of Isma'il ya rather than from Israelites. The
verse says that messenger-ship is one of Allah's bounties, which is not in
control of anyone except Him. Secondly, many Christian priests used to issue
letters of forgiveness (called 'indulgences') in favour of the people who offered
enough money for that purpose, as if forgiveness of sins and entrance in
Paradise were in their hands. The verse refutes this absurd assumption.

Introduction
This Surah has discussed four main subjects. Firstly, it has laid down the
rules relating to zihar (See note 1 below). Secondly, it has explained some
rules about secret talks and having private consultation with the Holy
Prophet . Thirdly, it deals with some etiquettes of collective meetings.
Lastly, it discloses the wicked attitude of the hypocrites who pretended to be
Muslims, but had secret friendship with their enemies.

SŪRAH AL-MUJĀDALAH
(The Debate)
This Sūrah is Madani, and comprises 22 'ayat (verses)
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful
Allah has heard the talk of the woman who was debating with you about
her husband, and was complaining to Allah. Allah was hearing the
conversation between both of you. Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-
Knowing. [1] Those of you who declare zi har 1 against their wives, they
are not their mothers. Their mothers are none else but those who gave
birth to them. Undoubtedly they utter an evil word and a lie; and Allah is
surely Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful. [2]
1) Zihar is a term denoting a custom of the Arabs in the days of Ignorance. In
case of disagreement with their wives, they used to say to them, "You are for
me like the back of my mother." After saying this, they used to take their wives
as their real mothers in being prohibited for them, and the ties of marriage were
held to have been broken for good, with no possibility of their restoration.

Sūrah Al-Mujādalah 58:3-5
وَالَّذِينَ يُظَهِرُونَ مِن نِسَآءِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا قَالُواْ فَتَحْرِيُ رَقَّبَةٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَنْ
فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ
يَتَمَاسَأَ ذَلِكُمْ تُوعَظُونَ بِّ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَنَابِعَيْنِ مِن قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَمَانَا فَمَن لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَإِطْعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينَاً
ذَلِكَ لِتُؤْمِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَلِلْكَفِينَ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
13
الَّذِينَ يُحَدُّونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، كُبِنُوْ كَمَا كُمْتَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمَّ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلْنَآ ءَايَتِ
بَيِّنَتٍ وَلِلْكَفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُهِينٌ
Those who declare zi har against their wives, then retract what they said,
obligated on them is to free the neck (of a slave) before the two (spouses)
touch one another. This is what you are advised, and Allah is well aware
of what you do. [3] But whoever does not find (a slave) has to fast for two
consecutive months before the two (spouses) touch one another. Then
the one who is not able to do so has to feed sixty indigent persons. This
is (laid down) so that you believe in Allah and His Messenger. These are
the limits set by Allah; and for the disbelievers there is a painful
punishment. [4]
Surely those who oppose Allah and His Messenger shall be disgraced,
just as those before them were disgraced. We have sent down clear
verses, and for the disbelievers there is a humiliating punishment [5]
These verses have been revealed in a similar case where a husband (Aws Ibn
Șāmit )
had declared zihar against his wife (Khawlah (A) who approached
the Holy Prophet and complained about her husband. The custom of the
days of Ignorance was condemned, and the rules of Shari'ah about zihar were
laid down by these verses.
2) These verses laid down the rule that declaring zihar is a sinful act, and it is
not in itself tantamount to divorce. The husband who declares zihar must either
retract it or give divorce in due words. In the first case, he will have to offer a
kaffarah (expiation) by freeing a slave. If he has none, he will have to fast for
two consecutive months. If he is not able to fast, he must feed sixty indigent
persons. Sexual intercourse with the wife is not allowed before offering kaffarah
(expiation).

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُّهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعًا فَيُنَبِّئُهُمِ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ أَحْصَنَهُ اللَّهُ وَنَسُوَةٌ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ
أَلَمَّ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِىِ السَّمَوَتِ وَمَا فِى الْأَرْضِّ مَا
شَىءٍ شَهِیدُ
يَكُنُ مِنْ تَّجْوَى ثَثَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلَا خَمْسَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلَاَ
أَدْنَى مِن ذَلِكَ وَلَّ أَكْثَرَ إِلَّ هُوَ مَعَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كَانُواْ ثُمَّ يُنِثُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُواْ يَوْمَ
أَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ نُهُواْ عَنِ النَّجْوَى ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ
اُلْقِيَمَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
لِمَا نُهُوْ عَنْهُ وَيَتَنَجَوْنَ بِالْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَنِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ الرَّسُولِ وَإِذَا جَاءُوَ حَيَّوْكَ
بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ وَيَقُولُونَ فِى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَوْلَا يُعَذِّبُنَا اللَّهُ بِمَا نَقُولُ حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ
يَصْلَوْنَهَّا فَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
on the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together, and will tell them
what they did; Allah has its full account, while they have forgotten it. Allah
is witness to every thing. [6] Have you not observed that Allah knows
everything in the heavens and everything in the earth? No secret consulta-
tion takes place between three, but He is fourth of them, nor between five,
but He is sixth of them, nor between fewer than that or more, but He is
with them wherever they may be. Then He will tell them on the Day of
Judgment what they did. Surely Allah is All-Knowing about every thing. [7]
Did you not see those who were forbidden from holding secret talks; then
they do again what they were forbidden to do? 3 They whisper for sinful
act and wrongdoing and disobedience of the prophet, and when they
come to you, they greet you the way Allah does not greet you, and say to
themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us for what we say?" 4 Enough
for them is Jahannam (Hell); they will enter it, and it is an evil end. [8]
3) Some Jews, despite having a treaty of peaceful coexistence with Muslims of
Madinah, used to hurt Muslims in many ways. When they saw a Muslim, they
would start whispering with one another in a way that the Muslim person would
apprehend some conspiracy against him. The Holy Prophet directed them
not to hold such secret talks in the presence of Muslims, but they continued this
practice.
4) Another mischief of Jews and some hypocrites was that when they met the
Holy Prophet they greeted him by saying: Assamu 'Alaikum instead of

Sūrah Al-Mujādalah 58:9-11
يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوْ إِذَا تَجَيْتُمْ فَلَ تَنَجَوْ بِآلْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَنِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ الرَّسُولِ
إِنَّمَا النَّجْوَى مِنَ الشَّيْطَنِ
وَتَنَجَوّأْ بِآلِيِرِ وَالنَّقْوَىّ وَتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ الَّذِىَّ إِلَيْهِ تُخْشَرُونَ
لِيَحْزُنَ اُلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَلَيْسَ بِضَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اَللَّهِ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَنَوَكَلِ
يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ نَّفَسَّحُواْ فِى الْمَجَلِسِ فَأَفْسَحُواْ
اُلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
يَفْسَجِ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَإِذَا قِيلَ اُنْشُرُواْ فَانشُزُواْ يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوْ مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ
أُوتُواْ الْعِلْمَ دَرَحَتٍّ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
O you who believe, when you hold secret counsel, do not whisper for sinful
act and wrongdoing and disobedience of the prophet, and do whisper for
righteousness and taqwa (piety). And fear Allah, before whom you will be
gathered together. [9] Whispering (for sinful acts) comes from the Shaitan
(Satan), so that he may grieve those who believe, while it is not harmful to
them in the least, except with Allah's permission. And in Allah the
believers must place their trust. 5 [10] O you who believe, when it is said to
you, "Make room (for others) in the sittings", then make room, and Allah
will make room for you (in the Hereafter). And when it is said, "Rise up",
then rise up, 6 and Allah will raise those, in ranks, who have believed and
are given knowledge. Allah is well-aware of what you do. [11]
Assalamu 'Alaikum. The former sentence means 'Death upon you', while the
latter means 'Peace be upon you.' Since both sentences sounded similar in
pronunciation, they took an opportunity to abuse the Holy Prophet . When
they were reproached for their mischief, they pleaded that if it was wrong, why
Allah did not punish them for it.
5) Although the verse has condemned the Jewish secret talks against Muslims,
this verse consoles the Muslims that such talks cannot harm them.
6) Once when the Holy Prophet He was sitting with a large number of his noble
Sahābah slu, some senior Sahabah su who participated in the battle of Badr
arrived to attend the gathering, but could not find a suitable place to sit. The
Holy Prophet felt that if the audience would squeeze themselves to some
extent, enough space could be spared for them. He directed the audience
accordingly. Some of the audience made some room for the new comers, while

Sūrah Al-Mujādalah 58:12-13
يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِذَا نَجَيْتُمُ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُواْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَنَّكُمْ صَدَقَّةٌ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌّ
ءَأَشْفَقْتُمْ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُواْ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ
لَّكُمْ وَأَظْهَرَّ فَإِن لَّمْ تَجِدُواْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
نَجْوَكُمْ صَدَقَتِ فَإِذْ لَ تَفْعَلُواْ وَتَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَوْةَ وَءَاتُواْ الزَّكَوَةَ
١٣
وَأَطِيعُواْ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ, وَاللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
O you who believe, when you consult the Messenger in private, then offer
something in charity before your consultation. 7 That is better for you
and purer. But if you find nothing (to offer), then Allah is Most-
Forgiving, Very-Merciful. [12] Have you become afraid of offering
charities before your consultation? So when you did not do so, and Allah
has forgiven you, then establish Salah, and pay Zakah, and obey Allah
and His Messenger. 8 And Allah is well aware of what you do. [13]
some others did not move. Since the space spared by the former people was not
enough, the Holy Prophet directed the latter ones to rise up to make room
for the new comers. The hypocrites raised objections against this direction, on
which this verse was revealed.
7) Many rich people and some hypocrites used to have private consultations
with the Holy Prophet for long time, and at times, these long discussions
were without a genuine need or a meaningful purpose. This deprived the poor
people from their right to benefit from the presence of the Holy Prophet . It
was therefore enjoined upon those seeking consultation in private to offer some
sadaqah (charitable donation) to a poor man before they come to consult the
Holy Prophet . However, the last part of the verse exempted the poor people
from this rule.
8) Although the direction of sadaqah given in verse 12 served its purpose, as the
hypocrites stopped having unnecessary talks with the Holy Prophet , it
created some difficulties for the people who had genuine needs to consult the
Holy Prophet ¿ but could not do so because they were doubtful whether they
can benefit from the exemption given to poor people. As the basic purpose of
the rule had been served, it was repealed by this verse in view of the genuine
needs of such people. The verse says that it is no more obligatory to offer a
sadaqah before consultation, however the Muslims should continue to observe
other obligations like Şalāh and Zakāh.

أَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ تَوَلَوْ قَوْمًا غَضِبَ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مَّا هُم مِّنَكُمْ وَلَا مِنْهُمْ وَيَحِلِفُونَ
(١٥) أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُواْ
عَلَى الْكَذِبِ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
يَعْمَلُونَ [١٥] أَتَّخَذُوَأْ أَيْمَنَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُهِينٌ خَبََّ

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُّهُمُ اللّهُ جَمِيعًا فَيَحْلِفُونَ لَهُ، كَمَا يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَهُمْ

Have you not seen those who have friendship with a people with whom
Allah is angry. They are neither of you nor of them. 9 They swear false
oaths while they know. [14] Allah has prepared a severe punishment for
them. Indeed, evil is what they have been doing. [15] They have taken
their oaths as a shield, 10 and then have prevented (people) from the way
of Allah. Therefore, for them there is a humiliating punishment. [16]
Their riches and their children will never benefit them against Allah.
They are the inmates of the Fire. They will live there forever, [17] the Day
Allah will raise all of them, and they will swear before Him as they swear
before you, and will think that they have something to stand upon. Be
assured that they are sheer liars. [18] The Shaitan (Satan) has prevailed
upon them; so he has made them neglect to remember Allah. They are
the party of Shaitan. Be assured that it is (the members of the) party of
Shaitan that are the losers. [19]
9) The hypocrites had secret friendship with Jews of Madinah and pagans.
Since they pretended to be Muslims, they were not counted among open
unbelievers, but in reality they were unbelievers. That is why they are said to be
neither here nor there.
10) They used to swear false oaths to claim that they were Muslims, but it was
only to save themselves from being treated as unbelievers.

كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَأَغْلِيَنَّ
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحَدُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ: أُوْلَكَ فِىِ الْأَذَلِّينَ
◌َ لَا تَجِدُ قَوْمَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَأَلْيَوْمِ
أَنَا وَرُسُلَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِىُّ عَزِيزٌ
الْآَخِرِ يُوَآَذُونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، وَلَوْ كَانُوْ ءَبَآءَ هُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَآءَ هُمْ

Indeed, those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, they are among the
lowest. [20] Allah has written (in His pre-destined decree), "I will
certainly prevail, both I and My messengers." Surely Allah is All-Strong,
All-Mighty. [21] You will not find those who believe in Allah and in the
Hereafter having friendship with those who oppose Allah and His
Messenger, even though they may be their fathers or their sons or their
brothers or their clan. They are such that Allah has inscribed faith on
their hearts, and has supported them with a spirit from Him. He will
admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, in which they will live
forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Allah.
Those are the party of Allah. Be assured that it is (the members of) the
party of Allah that are the successful. [22]

Sūrah Al-Hashr 59
Introduction
This Surah was revealed in the second year after the migration of the Holy
Prophet to Madinah, which had a substantial population of Jews. The
Holy Prophet entered into a treaty with them according to which
Muslims and Jews would have to cooperate with each other in peaceful
coexistence and in defending any possible attack on Madinah by pagans of
Makkah. Despite this treaty, the Jews spared no effort to harm the Muslims
and conspire against them. Once, the Holy Prophet : visited Banu Nadir,
one of the Jewish tribes living in Madinah, to ask them to implement some
clauses of the treaty. They clandestinely appointed a person to drop a huge
rock on the Holy Prophet to kill him. The Holy Prophet was informed
by the divine revelation about the conspiracy and returned home unhurt. On
this flagrant violation of the treaty, the Holy Prophet announced the
termination of the treaty, and asked them to leave Madinah within a
specified period, otherwise the Muslims would be free to attack them, he
warned. The hypocrites persuaded the Jews not to submit, and assured them
of their help in case of an attack by Muslims. On their assurance, Banu
Nadir did not leave Madinah within the period allowed to them, and in
consequence the Holy Prophet besieged their fort and no hypocrite came
to their help. Ultimately they surrendered and were banished from Madinah.
However they were allowed to take all their wealth with them, with the only
exception of their arms. The present Surah was revealed in this background.
Its contents mostly relate to different events and issues that emanated from
the exile of Banu Nadir. That is why some Șahabah su named it as the Surah
of Banū Nadir.

SŪRAH AL-HASHR
(The Gathering)
This Sūrah is Madani, and comprises 24 'ayat (verses)
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful
Allah's purity has been proclaimed by all that is in the heavens and all
that is in the earth. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. [1] He is the
One who expelled the disbelievers of the People of the Book from their
homes at the time of the first gathering. 1 You did not expect that they
would leave, and they deemed that their fortresses would protect them
from Allah. But Allah came to them from where they did not expect, and
cast fear in their hearts when they were spoiling their homes with their
own hands and with the hands of the believers. 2So, learn a lesson, O you
who have eyes to see. [2]
1) The original word used in the text is hashr which means 'gathering' or
'mustering' and after which this Sūrah is named. In the present context, it may be
interpreted in two different ways. One, that it refers to the gathering of the
Muslims who ordered the Jews to leave Madinah due to their constant
conspiracies and breaches of the treaty they had with the Muslims. According to
this interpretation, the verse means that the Jews of Banu Nadir were made to
leave the city at the first gathering of the Muslims without fighting and without
any further attempt to attack them. The second interpretation is that it refers to
the gathering of the Jews for the purpose of emigration. In this case the verse
indicates that it was their first exile before which they did not face such a situation.
It has another subtle indication to the fact that this first exile will be followed by
another one, i.e. the exile faced by the Jews in the days of Sayyiduna 'Umar
2) As they were allowed to take as much of their wealth as they could, they
