ADHIKR

This Surah got the name Mumthahana (The Women tested) from the tenth verse which says that ‘Oh you believed! If believing women come to you as migrators, you should test them’. This Surah containing 13 verses was revealed after the ‘Hudaibiya Treaty’ happened in the sixth year of Hijra. Through this Surah believers are commanded not to deal with the Hypocrites loyally and softly, and not to behave in a manner that Allah doesn’t know all secrets and public. It is warned that any relation in this world including the family relationship and blood relationship except the relation under the light of Adhikr won’t be benefitted on the Day of Judgement. It is taught that there is best example for the believers who believe in Allah and in the Last day in the declaration made by Ibrahim and those who with him to their people that there will be enmity and hatred between us until you believe with Allah as single Deity. It also teaches that there is no blame upon the believers to deal with justice under the light of Adhikr towards the Hypocrites who don’t behave to the believers in enmity, and that the believers are prohibited to deal in loyally and softly towards the Hypocrites who try to obstruct the believers from following the Straight path Adhikr, and those who try to deliver you out from believers’ house for following that Path. If the women come to you as believers ready to lead a life under the Light of Adhikr, believers have to give protection to her without sending them back. And also that if the women among the believers desire to go to the kuffar, they should be allowed to go. The women who come to the believers should give back the dowry they received from their husbands, and from the women who go to the kuffar, their husbands can get back the dowry they had given. This Surah ends by commanding the believers not to deal loyally and softly towards the Hypocrites upon whom the wrath and curse of Allah are affected and who are despair regarding the life of Hereafter, and towards the Kuffar who are despair regarding the inhabitants of the graves.
