Recitation by Mishary Al-Alfasy
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 Holy Prophet. 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
Holy Prophet himself by starting many disputes and discussions, raising
irrelevant objections and bringing ever new accusations so that the Holy Prophet
and the believers were sick of trying to answer them. Second, they were
preparing the ground for putting an end to the Holy Prophet 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 Holy
Prophet 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.
As an answer to the conspiracies of
murder, the story of the Believer of the people of Pharaoh has been narrated
(vv. 23 - 55) and through this story three different lessons have been taught to
the three groups:
The disbelievers have been admonished: "Whatever you
intend to do against Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace), the same did the
Pharaoh with his might intend against the Prophet Moses. Now, would you like to
meet with the same fate with which he met by plotting such conspiracies ?"
The Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace) and his followers have
been taught the lesson: "These wicked people may apparently be very strong and
powerful and you very weak and helpless against them, yet you should rest
assured that the might of that God Whose Word you are trying to raise high is
superior to every other power. Therefore, you should only seek Allah's refuge in
response to every and any dreadful threat that they utter against you, and then
busy yourself after this in fearlessly performing your mission. The
God-worshiper has only one answer to every threat of the tyrant: `I have taken
refuge in my Lord and your Lord against every arrogant person who does not
believe in the Day of Reckoning.' (v. 27) Thus, if you go on performing your
mission fearless of every danger and with full trust in God, His succor will
ultimately reach you, and the Pharaohs of today shall be doomed just as the
Pharaohs of yesterday. Till that time you will have to face and bear patiently
every wave of persecution and tyranny that may be directed against you."
Besides these two, there was a third group of the people also in the society,
who had been convinced in their hearts that the Truth was only on the side of
the Holy Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace), and that the
disbelieving Quraish were being unjust and cruel. But in spite of the conviction
they were watching quietly and unconcerned the conflict between the Truth and
falsehood. Allah here has aroused their conscience as if to say: "When the
enemies of the Truth have openly plotted, in front of your very eyes, it would
be a sad reflection on you if you still remained indifferent. Under such
conditions, unless a person's conscience has wholly become dead, he should rise
and perform the duty, which a righteous man from among the courtiers of Pharaoh
himself had performed at a time when the Pharaoh had made up his mind to kill
the Prophet Moses. The circumstances that prevent you from raising your voice
had also obstructed the way of the Believer, but he had full faith in Allah and
disregarded all expediency; then note that the Pharaoh was not able to do him
any harm."
Now as for the conspiracies, which were continuing in Makkah
day and night to defeat the Truth, on the one hand, arguments have been given to
prove the doctrines of Tauhid and the Hereafter as true, which were the real
basis of the dispute between the Holy Prophet and the disbelievers, and it has
been stated plainly and openly that the disbelievers are wrangling over those
truths without any knowledge. On the other, the motives which were the real
cause of the Quraishite chiefs' conflict against the Holy Prophet, have been
exposed. Apparently they were trying to have the common people believe that they
had some genuine objections against the teaching of the Prophet and his claim to
prophethood; that is why they were not prepared to listen to him. But, in fact,
this was their struggle for power. In verse 56, they have been openly warned, so
as to say" "The real cause of your denial is your arrogance and vanity. You
think that if you acknowledge the prophethood of Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's
peace), your power and authority will come to an end. That is why you are
straining every nerve to frustrate and defeat him."
In the same
connection, the disbelievers have been warned again and again to the effect: "If
you do not desist from wrangling against the Revelations of Allah, you will be
doomed to the same fate as the nations of the past. Much worse torment awaits
you in the Hereafter. Then you will repent, but it will be too late.
