Overview

About this Surah

Although these two Surahs of the Qur'an are separate entities and are written in the Mushaf also under separate names, yet they are so deeply related mutually and their contents so closely resemble each other's that they have been designated by a common name Mu'awwidhatayn (the two Surahs in which refuge with Allah has been sought). Imam Baihaqi in Dala'il an-Nubuwwat has written that these Surahs were revealed together, that is why the combined name of both is Mu'awwidhatayn. We are writing the same one Introduction to both, for they discuss and deal with just the same matters and topics. However, they will be explained and commented on separately below.

  1. Ayah 15

    إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا

    Waarlijk, wij hebben u een profeet gezonden, om getuigenis tegen u af te leggen, zooals wij een gezant aan Pharao zonden.

    فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا

    Maar Pharao was ongehoorzaam aan den gezant, daarom kastijdden wij hem met eene zware straf.

  3. Ayah 17

    فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا

    Indien gij niet gelooft, hoe wilt gij u dan beveiligen voor den dag waarop de kinderen grijze haren van den schrik zullen krijgen?

  4. Ayah 18

    السَّمَاءُ مُنفَطِرٌ بِهِ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا

    De hemel zal van schrik gespleten worden; de belofte daarvan zal zekerlijk worden vervuld.

  5. Ayah 19

    إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا

    Waarlijk, dit is eene vermaning, en hij die geneigd is vermaand te worden, zal den weg tot zijn Heer nemen.

  6. Ayah 20

    إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَيِ اللَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرْضَىٰ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا ۚ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

    Uw Heer, o Mahomet! weet dat gij in gebed en overpeinzing dikwijls bijna twee derde gedeelten van een nacht, en somtijds de helft daarvan doorbrengt, en op andere tijden weder een derde gedeelte daarvan, en een deel uwer makkers die met u zijn, doen hetzelfde. Maar God weet den dag en den nacht; hij weet, dat gij die niet nauwkeurig kunt berekenen, daarom wendt hij zich gunstig tot u. Lees dus zooveel van den Koran als u gemakkelijk zal wezen. Hij weet dat er zieken onder u zijn, terwijl anderen op de aarde reizen, opdat zij door Gods goedheid, zich bezittingen zouden verwerven; en dat anderen strijden ter verdediging van Gods geloof. Lees dus zooveel daarvan, als u niet moeilijk zal wezen. Neem de vaste tijden van het gebed in acht, geef de behoorlijke aalmoezen, en leen God eene aannemelijke leening; want al hetgeen gij Gode (in goede werken) voor uwe zielen zendt, zult gij bij God terugvinden. Dit is beter, en zal eene grootere belooning verdienen. En vraag God vergiffenis; want God is vergevensgezind en barmhartig.

The Quran is composed of 114 Surahs (chapters) and contains 6,236 Ayat (verses). Muslim beliefs and practices are based on the Quran and the Sunnah, the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم).

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.
