Surah Al-Ghaafir

One of seven surahs in the Quran that begin with Ha-Mīm.

Surah is the first of the seven surahs.
All of them are Makki and have a similar timeframe.

They are called the seven Hawamim.

#YQGems
Surah Al-Ghaafir (Arab) is also called Surah Mu’min (subcontinent).

It is called Ghaffir because it begins with the name of Allah Ghaffir udh dhanbi (the forgiver of sins) which means. And it is called mu’min because it talks about the believer in the house of Firaun.

#YQGems
Primary theme: the battle between imaan and kufr and the help that Allah gives to the believers and the fate of the rejectors. #YQGems
Surah Ghaffir basically continues on from the story of the angels around the throne of Allah in Surah Zumar.

It also contains many of the beautiful names and descriptions of Allah SWT.

#YQGems
The angels who are carrying the throne of Allah are making dua’a for us #YQGems
Allah will ask, to whom does the kingdom belong today? And no one is around to answer, so Allah answers himself, to Allah belongs the kingdom today

#YQGems
V.24-46 main story of the surah and only time it is mentioned in the Quran. It is about the secret convert from within the house of Firaun.
There was a mu’min from the family of Firaun and he concealed his imaan. Some say he is the man from Surah Qasas who warned Musa.

#YQGems
It tells of how he tried to protect Musa AS and how he tried to give dawah to the elite from within. #YQGems
Lessons to learn: Allah will send help in the least ways you expect. Never give up hope against enemies of your religion. It is allowed for a person, who converts in a hostile environment, to conceal their faith. Preach in a wise manner.

#YQGems
Those who put their faith in Allah SWT, they will be protected by Allah #YQGems
The surah moves on to the bickering of those in Jahannam. May we not be of those people. #YQGems
Finally the surah concludes

When the messengers came to them with clear proofs, they rejoiced with the knowledge they thought they had. They used that knowledge to ridicule the messengers.

Lesson: knowledge has the capacity to misguide us.

#YQGems
The ultimate criterion is what comes from the messengers. That is where true guidance lies #YQGems
