ق_The_Letter_Qaf_050 --The Holy Quran Recitation - Sheikh Syed Ramadan Name: The Surah takes its name Al Mu'min from verse 28, implying thereby, that it is a Surah in which Al Mu'min (the Believer of Pharaoh's people) has been mentioned. Period of Revelation According to Ibn 'Abbas and Jabir bin Zaid, this Surah was sent down consecutively after Surah Az-Zumar, and its present position in the order of the Surahs in the Quran is the same as its chronological order. Background of Revelation There are clear indications in the subject matter of this Surah to the conditions in which it was revealed. The disbelievers of Makkah at that time were engaged in two kinds of the activities against the Prophet (Allah's peace be upon him). First, they were creating every kind of suspicion and misgiving in the minds of the people about the teaching of the Quran and the message of Islam and about the Prophet (Allah's peace be upon him) himself by starting many disputes and discussions, raising irrelevant objections and bringing ever new accusations so that the Prophet (Allah's peace be upon him) and the believers were sick of trying to answer them. Second, they were preparing the ground for putting an end to the Prophet (Allah's peace be upon him) himself. They were devising one plot after the other, and on one occasion had even taken the practical steps to execute a plot. Bukhari has related a tradition on the authority of Hadrat Abdullah bin Amr bin 'As saying that one day when the Prophet (Allah's peace be upon him) was offering his Prayer in the precinct's of the Kabbah, suddenly 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ait, rushed forward and putting a piece of cloth round his neck started twisting it so as to strangle him to death. Hadrat Abu Bakr, who happened to go there in time, pushed him away. Hadrat Abdullah says that when Abu Bakr was struggling with the cruel man, he was saying words to the effect: "Would you kill a man only because he says: Allah is my Lord?" With a little variation this event has also been mentioned in Ibn Hisham, Nasa'i and Ibn Abi Hatim . Theme and Topics Both aspects of this have been clear]y stated at the very outset, and then the whole following discourse is a most effective and instructive review of them. more info: http://www.all-quran.com/documents/123.html
