Tafsir

<h2>Name</h2><p>It is derived from the word <em>zilzal</em> in the <a href="/99/1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first verse</a>.</p><h2>Period of Revelation</h2><p>Whether or not Surah Az-Zalzalah was revealed in Makkah or Madinah is disputed. Ibn Masud, Ata, Jabir, and Mjahid say that it is a Makki Surah and a statement of Ibn Abbas also supports this view. On the contrary, Qatadah and Muqatil say that it is Madani and another statement of Ibn Abbas also has been cited in support of this view. That it is a Madani Surah is reasoned from a tradition from Hadrat Abu Said Khudri, which Ibn Abi Hatim has related from him. He says: "When the verse '<em>Fa-man ya mal mithqala dharratin khairan yarah, wa man ya mal mithqala dharratin sharran yarah'</em>, was revealed, I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I really see my deeds?' The Holy Messenger replied in the affirmative. I submitted: 'And every major sin?' He replied 'yes.' I said: 'And the minor sins too?' He replied 'yes.' Thereupon I exclaimed that I would then be ruined. The Holy Prophet said: Rejoice, O Abu Sa'id, for each good act will be equal to ten good acts like it." The basis of the argument for this Surah being Madani is that Hadrat Abu Sa'ld Khudri was an inhabitant of Madinah and reached maturity after the Battle of Uhud. Therefore, if this Surah was revealed in his presence, as is apparent from his statement, it must be a Madani Surah. However, the practice that the Companions and their immediate successors followed in respect of the occasion of the revelation of the verses and Surahs, has already been explained in the Introduction to Surah Ad-Dahr above. Therefore, a Companion's saying that a verse was sent down on this or that particular occasion is no proof that it was sent down on that very occasion. It may well be that after coming of age, Hadrat Abu Sa'id heard this Surah for the first time from the Holy Prophet, terrified by its last portion, might have asked the Holy Prophet the questions which we have cited above, and he might have narrated the incident saying that when this verse was revealed he put this and this question to the Holy Prophet. In the absence of this tradition every reader who reads the Quran with understandings will feel that it is a Makki Surah. In addition, from its theme and style one would feel that it must have been sent down in the earliest stage at Makkah when the fundamental principles and beliefs of Islam were being presented before the people in a concise but highly effective manner.</p><h2>Theme and Subject Matter</h2><p>The surah's theme is the second life after death and presentation in it before man of the full record of the deeds done by him in the world. In the first three sentences it has been told briefly how the second life after death will take place and how confounding it will be for man. In the next two sentences it has been said that this very earth on which man has lived and performed all kinds of deeds thoughtlessly, and about which he never could imagine that this lifeless thing would at some point in the future bear witness to his deeds, will speak out on that Day by Allah's command and will state in respect of each individual person, what act he had committed at a particular time and place. Then, it has been said that men on that Day, rising from their graves, will come out in their varied groups from all corners of the earth, to be shown their deeds and works, and their presentation of the deeds will be so complete and detailed that not an atom's weight of any good or evil act will be left unnoticed or hidden from his eyes.</p>

Surah Al-Mumtahanah · She that is to be examined

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

  1. Ayah 1

    بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِم بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَاءَكُم مِّنَ الْحَقِّ يُخْرِجُونَ الرَّسُولَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۙ أَن تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ رَبِّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ خَرَجْتُمْ جِهَادًا فِي سَبِيلِي وَابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِي ۚ تُسِرُّونَ إِلَيْهِم بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِمَا أَخْفَيْتُمْ وَمَا أَعْلَنتُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْهُ مِنكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَاءَ السَّبِيلِ

    Ó fiéis, não tomeis por confidentes os Meus e os vossos inimigos, demonstrando-lhes afeto, posto que renegam tudoquanto vos chegou da verdade, e expulsam (de Makka) tanto o Mensageiro, como vós mesmos, porque credes em Deus, vosso Senhor! Quando sairdes para combater pela Minha causa, procurando a Minha complacência (não os tomeis porconfidentes), confiando-lhes as vossas intimidades, porque Eu, melhor do que ninguém, sei tudo quanto ocultais, e tudoquanto manifestais. Em verdade, quem de vós assim proceder, desviar-se-á da verdadeira senda.

  2. Ayah 2

    إِن يَثْقَفُوكُمْ يَكُونُوا لَكُمْ أَعْدَاءً وَيَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُم بِالسُّوءِ وَوَدُّوا لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ

    Se lograssem tirar o melhor de vós, mostrar-se-iam vossos inimigos, estenderiam as mãos e as línguas contra vós, desejando fazer-vos rejeitar a fé.

  3. Ayah 3

    لَن تَنفَعَكُمْ أَرْحَامُكُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُكُمْ ۚ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

    De nada vos valerão os vossos parentes ou os vossos filhos, no Dia da Ressurreição. Ele vos separará; sabei que Deusbem vê tudo quanto fazeis.

  4. Ayah 4

    قَدْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ فِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِذْ قَالُوا لِقَوْمِهِمْ إِنَّا بُرَآءُ مِنكُمْ وَمِمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ كَفَرْنَا بِكُمْ وَبَدَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةُ وَالْبَغْضَاءُ أَبَدًا حَتَّىٰ تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ إِلَّا قَوْلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ لَأَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ لَكَ وَمَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۖ رَّبَّنَا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ

    Tivestes um excelente exemplo em Abraão e naqueles que o seguiram, quando disseram ao seu povo: Em verdade, nãosomos responsáveis por vossos atos e por tudo quando adorais, em lugar de Deus, Renegamos-vos e iniciar-se-á inimizade eum ódio duradouros entre nós e vós, a menos que creiais unicamente em Deus! Todavia, as palavras de Abraão para o pai: -Implorai o perdão para ti, embora nada venha a obter de Deus em teu favor - foram uma exceção. (Dizei, ó crentes): ÓSenhor nosso, a Ti nos encomendamos e a Ti nos voltamos contritos, porque para Ti será o retorno;

  5. Ayah 5

    رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا رَبَّنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

    Ó Senhor nosso, não faças de nós um escarmento para os incrédulos e perdoa-nos, ó Senhor nosso, porque és o Poderoso, o Prudentíssimo.

  6. Ayah 6

    لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيهِمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ

    Tivestes neles um excelente exemplo, de quem confia em Deus e no Dia do Juízo Final. Mas, quem desdenhar, que fiquesabendo que Deus é, por Si, o Opulento, o Laudabilíssimo!

  7. Ayah 7

    عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُم مِّنْهُم مَّوَدَّةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ قَدِيرٌ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

    É possível que Deus restabeleça a cordialidade entre vós e os vossos inimigos, porque Deus é Poderoso, e porque Deus éIndulgente, Misericordiosíssimo.

  8. Ayah 8

    لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ

    Deus nada vos proíbe, quanto àquelas que não nos combateram pela causa da religião e não vos expulsaram dos vossoslares, nem que lideis com eles com gentileza e eqüidade, porque Deus aprecia os eqüitativos.

  9. Ayah 9

    إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَىٰ إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَن تَوَلَّوْهُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

    Deus vos proíbe tão-somente entrar em privacidade com aqueles que vos combateram na religião, vos expulsaram devossos lares ou que cooperaram na vossa expulsão. Em verdade, aqueles que entrarem em privacidade com eles serãoiníquos.

  10. Ayah 10

    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا جَاءَكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ فَامْتَحِنُوهُنَّ ۖ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِيمَانِهِنَّ ۖ فَإِنْ عَلِمْتُمُوهُنَّ مُؤْمِنَاتٍ فَلَا تَرْجِعُوهُنَّ إِلَى الْكُفَّارِ ۖ لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّ ۖ وَآتُوهُم مَّا أَنفَقُوا ۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَن تَنكِحُوهُنَّ إِذَا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ ۚ وَلَا تُمْسِكُوا بِعِصَمِ الْكَوَافِرِ وَاسْأَلُوا مَا أَنفَقْتُمْ وَلْيَسْأَلُوا مَا أَنفَقُوا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ حُكْمُ اللَّهِ ۖ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

    Ó fiéis, quando se vos apresentarem as fugitivas fiéis, examinai-as, muito embora Deus conheça a sua fé melhor do queninguém; porém, se as julgardes fiéis, não as restituais aos incrédulos, porquanto elas não lhes cabem por direito, nem eles aelas; porém, restituí o que eles gastaram (com os seus dotes). Não sereis recriminados se as desposardes, contanto que asdoteis; porém, não vos apegueis à tutela das incrédulas, mas exigi a restituição do que gastastes no seu dote; e que (osincrédulos), por sua vez, exijam o que gastaram. Tal é o Juízo de Deus, com que vos julga, porque Deus é Sapiente, Prudentíssimo.

  11. Ayah 11

    وَإِن فَاتَكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ إِلَى الْكُفَّارِ فَعَاقَبْتُمْ فَآتُوا الَّذِينَ ذَهَبَتْ أَزْوَاجُهُم مِّثْلَ مَا أَنفَقُوا ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي أَنتُم بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ

    E se alguma de vossas esposas fugir para os incrédulos, e depois tiverdes acesso (a uma mulher deles), restituí àquelescujas esposas houverem fugido o equivalente ao que haviam gasto (com os seus dotes). E temei a Deus, em Quem credes.

  12. Ayah 12

    يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ يُبَايِعْنَكَ عَلَىٰ أَن لَّا يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَسْرِقْنَ وَلَا يَزْنِينَ وَلَا يَقْتُلْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ وَلَا يَأْتِينَ بِبُهْتَانٍ يَفْتَرِينَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِنَّ وَأَرْجُلِهِنَّ وَلَا يَعْصِينَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ ۙ فَبَايِعْهُنَّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُنَّ اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

    Ó Profeta, quando as fiéis se apresentarem a ti, jurando-te fidelidade, afirmando-te que não atribuirão parceiros a Deus, não roubarão, não fornicarão, não serão filicidas, não se apresentarão com calúnias que forjarem intencionalmente, nem tedesobedecerão em causa justa, aceita, então, o seu compromisso e implora, para elas, o perdão de Deus, porque Deus éIndulgente, Misericordiosíssimo.

  13. Ayah 13

    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَوَلَّوْا قَوْمًا غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَدْ يَئِسُوا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ كَمَا يَئِسَ الْكُفَّارُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْقُبُورِ

    Ó fiéis, não tenhais vínculos com o povo que Deus abominou, por ter-se tornado cético quanto à outra vida, como osincrédulos se tornaram céticos quanto aos donos das sepulturas.

The Kaaba in Mecca
A mosque in South America

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.
