| THIS SIXTEEN-SECTION chapter consists of 127 late Meccan verses, except for the last three which date from Madina. It was revealed after The Cave 18 and before Noah 71, and belongs to a new group of chapters dating from the late Meccan period. The chapter is slightly longer than the others in this part and quite beautiful, containing many elevated thoughts. The theme includes exhortations which give a clue to good behavior and commendable conduct. Pagan practices and beliefs are condemned in sections V-VIII. The Bee appears in V. 68 (IX). Agriculture has been mentioned first in II, and the food which God provides us with in IX and XV. Parables like "The Slave, the Master and the Dumb Man" (X) and "The Disbelieving Town" (XV) also form part of this chapter. The advantage of keeping one's word or oaths and avoiding mutual deceit appears in section XIII, where we are instructed on how to recite the Quran. In the name of God, the Mercy-giving, the Merciful! Association is Foolish (I) | ||

You use your oaths in order to snatch at advantages over one another, just because one nation may be more prosperous than another nation. God is only testing you by means of it; so He may explain to you on Resurrection Day what you have been disagreeing about. Its Responsibility | وَلاَ تَكُونُوا كَالَّتِي نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِنْ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَاثا ً تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلا ً بَيْنَكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرْبَى مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِه ِِ ۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا كُنْتُمْ فِيه ِِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ |
