Al – Munafiqun (Hypocrites)HHHh

The Sura takes its name from the sentenceIdha jaa kal-munafiquna of verse 1. This is the name of the Sura as well as the title of its subject matter, for in it a review has been made of the conduct and attitude of the hypocrites themselves.

AL-JUMU`A (Friday)

It is derived from the sentenceidha nudiya-lis-salat-imin-yaum-il- Jumu'ati of verse 9. Although in this Surah injunctions about the Friday congregational Prayer also have been given, yet "Jumu'ah" is not the title of its subject-matter as a whole, but this name too, like the names of other Surahs, is only a symbolic title.

Al-Saff (Battle Array)

The Surah derives its name from the sentenceyuqatiluna fi sabil-i- hlsaff-an of verse 4; thereby implying that it is a Surah in which the wordsaff occurred.

AL-MUMTAHINAH (Examining Her)

In verse 10 of this Surah it has been enjoined that the women who emigrate to dar al-Islam (the Islamic State) and claim to be Muslims, should be examined hence the title Al-Mumtahinah. The word is pronounced both as mumtahinah and as mumtahanah, the meaning according to the first pronunciation being "the Surah which examines", and according to the second, and "the woman who is examined."

AL- MUJADALAH (The pleading woman)

This Surah is entitled Al Mujadalah as well as Al Mujadilah, the title being derived from the word tujadiluka of the very first verse. As at the outset mention has been made of the woman who pleaded with the Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace) the case of zihar pronounced by her husband and urged him to suggest a way out of the difficult situation in order to save her and, her children's life from ruin, and Allah has described her pleading by the word "mujadalah", the Surah came to be known by this very title. If it is read as "mujadalah",it would mean "pleading and arguing", and if it is read as "mujadilah", it would mean "the woman who pleaded and argued."

AL-WAQI`

The Surah takes its name from the wordal-waqi`ah of the very first verse.

AR-RAHMAN (The Mercy-Giving)

This Surah is entitled Ar-Rahman, the word with which it begins. This title, however, deeply relates to the subject matter of the Surah too, for in it, from the beginning to the end, the manifestations and fruits of Allah's attribute of mercy and grace have been mentioned.

AL-QAMAR (The Moon)

The Surah takes its name from the very first verseWan shaqq al-Qamar, thereby implying that it is a Surah in which the word al-Qamar has occurred.
