An-Nûr (The Light)

Makki Surah

Introduction

This Medinian sûrah takes its name from the divine light mentioned in verses 35-36. A large portion of this sûrah deals with the issue of sexual misconduct hinted at in the previous sûrah (23:7). The sûrah also offers some guidelines to the believers on how they should have reacted to false rumours against ’Ȃishah, the Prophet’s wife. Other issues are discussed, including modesty, entering people’s homes, forced prostitution, hypocrisy, and false accusations of adultery. Allah’s power, compliance with His judgment, and obedience to the Prophet (ﷺ) are highly emphasized.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
