This Surah has 11 verses. It takes its name from verse 1: “وَالضُّحَىٰ” (By the morning brightness) where the word “الضحى” meaning “The Morning Brightness” appears. This Surah was revealed in Mecca most probably during the early days of Muhammad's proclamation of his prophethood, and most likely was among the first ten surahs to be revealed. This Surah addressed to Prophet Muhammad and assures him that his Lord had not forgotten him. As discussed in Surah Muddathir, history, ahadith and traditions tell us that the first revelation upon Muhammad was the first five verses of Surah Alaq but than there was a long interval and revelation stopped. This caused much pain and grief to the Prophet. So much so that he tried to reach at the top of the hill to throw himself down, but just when he tried to do so Angel Gabriel appeared and told him that he truly was a Prophet of God and the first experience of revelation was real and not his doubt or his mind's creation. Traditions tell that this was same sort of interval when for a period of time, the revelations stopped. The unbelievers mocked Prophet Muhammad saying that “Muhammad's Lord has abandoned him.” It is recorded in various traditions in Bukhari, Muslim and also by Ahmed bin Hanbal that there was a long interval and Angel Jibril was slow in coming to the Prophet of God PBUH. So the idolaters said, “Muhammad's Lord has abandoned him.” Thus Allah revealed, وَٱلضُّحَىٰ • وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ • مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ By the forenoon. By the night when it darkens. Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you]. On the explanation of “وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ” “And the Hereafter is better for you than the first” It applies on everything and every phase of time of Prophet Muhammad. History proved this verse was a miracle as every next moment for Prophet is this world was better than previous in terms of increase in his followers as well as spreading of message and dominance of Muslims over land and area. Then it also applies similarly to the worldly life of Prophet and hereafter. That's why Prophet was so keen of going from this world that when on his death The Angel of Death told him that Allah Subhan Taalah had given him choice of remaining in this life forever and then going to Paradise or moving on to the company of Allah, he chose that which is with Allah over this world Ahmad bin Hanbal, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah recorded a narration from Abdullah bin Masud who said, “The Prophet of God PBUH was lying down on a straw rug, and it left marks on his side. Then when he woke up, he began to rub his side. So I said, O Prophet of God PBUH, will you allow us to spread something soft over this straw rug. He replied, مَالِي وَلِلدُّنْيَا، إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الدُّنْيَا كَرَاكِبٍ ظَلَّ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ ثُمَّ رَاحَ وَتَرَكَهَا I have nothing to do with this world. The parable of me and this world is like a rider who rests in the shade of a tree, then he passes on and leaves it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wow-be-podcast/message

Al-Ḥajj[1] (Arabic: الحج‎, 'al-ḥaj; meaning: "The Pilgrimage", "The Hajj") is the 22nd chapter of the Quran with 78 verses. This surah takes its name from the 27th verse Time of revelation This surah contains the qualities of both the Makki and the Madani Surahs, the tafsirs have contrasted as to its time of disclosure, however, in the light of its style and subjects, it appears that first 24 Āyah [2] were sent down in the last phase of the Makki life of Muhammad a little before movement to Medina and the rest of the surah[3] during the initial phase of his Madani life. That is the reason this surah joins the qualities of both the Makki and the Madani Surahs. This Surah addresses: (1) The mushriks of Makkah, (2) the faltering Muslims, and (3) the Genuine Devotees Topic and Theme The faltering Muslims, who entered Islam, yet did not want to face any difficulty in its path, have been advised with this impact: "What is this faith of yours? From one viewpoint, you are prepared to have faith in Allah and become His workers given you are harmony and thriving, and if you meet with torments and hardships in His path, you dispose of your Allah and stop to remain His servant. You should remember that this faltering disposition of yours can't deflect those incidents and misfortunes which Allah has appointed for you." Principal subject The significant issues, divine laws, and guidance direction in the text of the discourse can be categorized as follows:-[6] A scene from the Hour of Fate. Human life cycle: life right now and then in the Hereafter. The conduct of those people who were remaining at the border of faith is recognized. The way that Allah consistently helps His Rasools. Divine law conceding equivalent rights to all believers in Masjid-al-Haram, regardless of whether they are locals or outsiders. The way that Allah Himself distinguished the site and asked Prophet Ibrahim to manufacture the Kaaba and call humanity to perform Hajj. Somebody who commits Shirk resembles the one who tumbles from the sky and his body is grabbed away by the birds. It isn't the blood or the tissue of a sacrificed animal that arrives Allah yet the devotion of the person who is offering the sacrifice. The 1st Instruction of Allah allowing consent to the devotees to shield themselves and battle against the disbelievers and mushrikin. Upon the arrival of Judgment, Allah Himself will be the Adjudicator for all. Allah's guarantee to the individuals who relocate for the sake of ALLAH that He will compensate them generously. Allah called the devotees Muslims in the earlier sacred writings and in The Qur'an as well.

Al-Ḥijr[1][2] (ِArabic: الْحِجْر‎, lit. 'The Stoneland') is the 15th Quranic chapter. It has 99 verses. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier Meccan surah, believed to have been received by Prophet Muhammad shortly after chapter 12, Yusuf, during his last year in Mecca. Like other surahs of this period, it praises God. Parts of Q15:4-74 are preserved in the Ṣan‘ā'1 lower text.[3] This Surah takes its name from 80th ayat [4] which refers to Mada'in Saleh, a pre-Islamic archaeological site, occasionally called Al-Hijr, or Hegra. Time of Revelation The revelation of this surah occurred at a similar time to that of Surah Ibrahim. Its also repeats the admonitions. Muhammad had been spreading the message for a long time. His kin had become increasingly stiff-necked and obstinate in their hostility, hatred and mocking. Muhammad had started to feel tired in his attempts against disbelief and restrictions of his people. Allah reassured him again.[5] Central Theme This surah contains brief mentions of Tawhid, and provides an admonition to the disbelievers. The primary subjects of the surah are: cautioning the individuals who dismissed the message and providing solace and support to Muhammad, The Quran never limits itself to mere rebuke; reproach and reprimand. It depends on its statute. The surah contains brief contentions for Tawhid and admonition in the tale of Adam and Satan.[6] 15:9 We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We [note 1] will assuredly guard it (from corruption). Translation Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938) [7] Ibn Kathir says, "God, may He be exalted, stated that He is the One Who revealed the Dhikr to him, which is the Qur'an, and He is protecting it from being changed or altered".[2]

At-Tawbah (Arabic: ٱلتَّوْبَة‎, at-Tawbah, "The Repentance"),[1] also known as Bara'ah (Arabic: بَرَاءَة‎, Barāʾah, "Repudiation"),[2] is the ninth chapter(sūrah) of the Quran. It contains 129 verses and is one of the last Medinan surah. This Surah is reported to have been revealed at the time of the Battle of Tabuk in Madinah in the 9th year of the Hijrah. The Sanaa manuscript preserves some verses, on parchment radiocarbon dated to between 578/44bh and 669/49ah.[4][5] It is the only Surah of the Quran that does not begin with Bismillah. It deals with almost the same topics as those dealt with in Surat al-Anfal. It is the only surah in the Qur'an which does not begin with the usual opening formula, In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. In contrast to all other surahs, prophet Muhammad, did not order that this formula should be put at the beginning of this surah. Verses 9:2 - 9:6 Main article: Sword Verse The Quran, chapter 9 (At-Tawba), verses 2–6:[15] So travel freely, [O disbelievers], throughout the land [during] four months (2) ... So if you repent, that is best for you; ... And give tidings to those who disbelieve of a painful punishment. (3) ... Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you; so complete for them their treaty until their term [has ended]. (4) ... And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. (5) ... And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know. (6) — translated by Sahih International
