Muḥammad (Surah 47)

Introduction

This Medinian sûrah, which takes its title from the Prophet’s name in verse 2, discusses the etiquette of fighting in the battlefield. The faithful believers are promised different types of rivers and delicacies in Paradise, whereas the disbelievers and the hypocrites are warned of an evil fate. To preserve the reward of their good deeds, the believers are urged to strive in the Way of Allah and donate in His cause, culminating in the clear triumph in the next sûrah. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
