Sura 60: Al-Mumtahana map

Surah maps — Sura 60: Al-Mumtahana

1. Forbidding Alliance with Allah's Enemies · 1–3
   Forbidding the believers from taking Allah's enemies as allies and secretly offering them friendship — they disbelieved in the truth and expelled the Messenger and the believers, and such ties will avail nothing on the Day of Resurrection.
2. The Example of Abraham · 4–6
   Abraham and those with him are an excellent example in disavowing idolatry and its people — excepting his prayer for his father — and in their supplication of trust in Allah not to make them a trial for the disbelievers.
3. Justice Toward the Peaceful · 7–9
   Hope that Allah may bring affection between the believers and their enemies, and the distinction between hostile fighters — alliance with whom is forbidden — and peaceful people, who are to be treated with kindness and justice.
   • Hope of Affection · 7–7
   • Kindness and Justice to the Non-Hostile · 8–9
4. Testing the Emigrant Believing Women · 10–11
   The rulings on believing women who emigrate: examining them, not returning them to the disbelievers, returning dowries, dissolving ties with disbelieving wives, and settling financial rights between both sides.
5. The Women's Pledge · 12–12
   The pledge of the believing women: to associate nothing with Allah, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to kill their children, not to fabricate slander, and not to disobey in what is right.
6. The Closing Prohibition of Alliance · 13–13
   The surah closes by forbidding alliance with a people whom Allah is angry with and who have despaired of the Hereafter — returning full circle to the theme of alliance.
