With the name of Allah, the Impartial, the Compassionate.
(24) Annoor
This Surat got the name “the Light” from verse 35 which says: “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth”. Surath discusses the slander that spread about Ayisha (the wife of Messenger) and Safwan on Hijra 5th in connection with the Battle of Banu-Mustalik. The laws and regulations regarding fornication and slander are explained. When a believer happens to hear slander about another, he should not be involved in spreading it; instead, he should think of himself and should try to approach the Lord with his soul. The good man will get a good woman and the bad man will get a bad woman and vice versa. The do’s and don’ts that one should follow to maintain a peaceful and tranquil life in society are explained in this Surath. Today, the believer should give more importance to Adhikr like believing followers are commanded to give importance to the Lord’s Messenger at that period.
