Overview

About this Surah

This Surah is entitled Al Mujadalah as well as Al Mujadilah, the title being derived from the word tujadiluka of the very first verse. As at the outset mention has been made of the woman who pleaded with the Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace) the case of zihar pronounced by her husband and urged him to suggest a way out of the difficult situation in order to save her and, her children's life from ruin, and Allah has described her pleading by the word 'mujadalah', the Surah came to be known by this very title. If it is read as 'mujadalah', it would mean 'pleading and arguing', and if it is read as 'mujadilah', it would mean 'the woman who pleaded and argued.'

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Verses around 18:55

  1. Ayah 52

    وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا

    Op zekeren dag zal God tot de afgodendienaars zeggen: Roept hen aan, omtrent welke gij hebt uitgedacht dat zij mijne makkers zijn, om u te beschermen. Zij zullen hen roepen, doch zij zullen hun niet antwoorden, en wij zullen eene vallei van vernietiging tusschen hen plaatsen.

  2. Ayah 53

    وَرَأَى الْمُجْرِمُونَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا

    De zondaren zullen het hellevuur zien; zij zullen weten dat zij er in geworpen zullen worden, en zij zullen geen weg vinden om dat te vermijden.

  3. Ayah 54

    وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِي هَـٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا

    Wij hebben den mensch in dezen Koran op verschillende wijzen vergelijkingen van iederen aard voorgesteld, maar de mensch laakt met spitsvondigheid de meeste dingen, die daarin voorkomen.

  4. Ayah 55

    وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا إِذْ جَاءَهُمُ الْهُدَىٰ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّا أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا

    Niets verhindert de menschen, nu hun eene leiding is geschonken, te gelooven, en vergiffenis van hunnen Heer te vragen, en toch wachten zij wellicht tot de straf van hunne voorgangers op hen zal worden toegepast, of dat de kastijding van het volgende leven openlijk op hen nederkomt.

  5. Ayah 56

    وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ ۚ وَيُجَادِلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا بِهِ الْحَقَّ ۖ وَاتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِي وَمَا أُنذِرُوا هُزُوًا

    Wij zonden onze gezanten om goede tijdingen te brengen en te waarschuwen. Zij, die niet gelooven, twisten met ijdele bewijsgronden, om daardoor der waarheid hare uitwerking te ontnemen, en kiezen mijne teekenen en de waarschuwingen die hun werden gedaan, tot onderwerp hunner spotternijen.

  6. Ayah 57

    وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِيَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ ۚ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ۖ وَإِن تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَىٰ فَلَن يَهْتَدُوا إِذًا أَبَدًا

    En wie is onrechtvaardiger dan hij, die bekend is gemaakt met de teekens van zijn Heer, maar zich ver daarvan verwijdert en vergeet wat hij vroeger verricht heeft? Waarlijk wij hebben sluiers over hunne harten geworpen, dat zij den Koran niet zouden verstaan, en wij wierpen zwaarte in hunne ooren. Indien gij hen tot de ware richting oproept, zullen zij die nog altijd niet volgen.

  7. Ayah 58

    وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُورُ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ ۖ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوا لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابَ ۚ بَل لَّهُم مَّوْعِدٌ لَّن يَجِدُوا مِن دُونِهِ مَوْئِلًا

    Uw Heer is barmhartig en vol van genade; indien hij hen had willen straffen voor hetgeen zij hebben bedreven, zou hij zeker hunne straf hebben verhaast, maar eene bedreiging is tegen hen aangekondigd, en zij zullen geene toevlucht buiten hem vinden.

Meccan Surahs

The Meccan Surahs are the earliest revelations sent down to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم). They were revealed in Mecca, hence their name. These revelations form the foundation of the Islamic faith and contain guidance for Muslims on how to live their lives. The Meccan Surahs are also notable for their poetic beauty and lyrical prose.

Medinan Surahs

The Medinan Surahs are the later Surahs that, according to Islamic tradition, were revealed in Medina after the Prophet Muhammad's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hijra from Mecca. They were revealed by Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) when the Muslim community was larger and more developed, as opposed to their minority position in Mecca.
