Surah Al-Mujādilah

Madani surah.
Discusses laws specific to marriage.
Motif: knowledge of Allah SWT

Mujādilah means the lady who is pleading (or arguing her case).

#YQGems
A lady came to the prophet SAWS and a lady came to complain about her husband. Allah SWT heard what she was saying and revealed Quran to advise her.

#YQGems
She was complaining about a preislamic custom where if a man gets angry he can say utter a particular phrase that can leave a wife in limbo. She is not fully married but not fully allowed to marry another person.

#YQGems
The revelation of the Quran indicated that this was an evil, detestable practice. He put a hefty fine on any man that did this to his wife and it is not considered Islamic to do.

#YQGems
Surah Mujadilāh also deals with hypocrites which was something that happened a lot during the madani period. The prophet SAWS said that these secret gatherings where they plot etc. were from shaitan. And Muslims are advised against participating in such gatherings.

#YQGems
Surah Mujadilāh also deals with Allah’s knowledge. If there is any small group of people, for example, if three then Allah is the fourth. Allah is always the other person in the room meaning his knowledge is everywhere. Nothing is hidden from Him.

#YQGems
Even though it seems as though the topics have moved far from marriage, we can still understand from this that Allah knows what is happening in the secrecy of your households. He knows if a husband is mistreating his wife etc.

#YQGems
Surah Mujādilah concludes saying that it is not possible that Allah and the messenger be associated with enemies of Allah. Allah is not referring to just any non Muslim. He is talking about enemies of Islam and these two things are not equivalent.
