ADHIKR

This Surah got the name Aswaff-The Solid Line-from the forth verse which says that “Indeed Allah loves those who are fighting in the way of Him as solid line just like concrete wall”. Since this Surah mentions about ‘Hawariyyeen’ in the fourteenth verse, it has also the name ‘Al-Hawariyyoon’. It was revealed during the third year of Hijra during Messenger’s Madeena life. This Surah teaches the believers that while whatever in the heavens and the earth is glorifying Lord Allah, the believers should be doing whatever is saying and should be glorifying Allah alone. It also warns that any people who don’t obey Messengers just like the people of Moses were, Allah doesn’t guide such a people. This Surah also says that even though Jesus-the son of Maryam-had informed Glad Tiding that there will come a Messenger after me named ‘Ahmad’, when that Messenger-Mohamed-came to them with clear Evidence, they were rejecting and defying him saying that It was a manifest sorcery. This Surah also warns that Allah will spread out Adhikr-the Light of Allah through the believers even though the Hypocrites and their followers are hating it much. This Surah containing 14 verses ends reminding the believers to help Allah by propagating Adhikr just like Hawariyyeen undertook and implemented the mission of Jesus.
