Explanatory Note.

Repeated warnings are issued to them in this passage: "God has prepared for them grievous suffering. Evil indeed is what they do." 

"Hence, shameful suffering awaits them. Neither their wealth nor their children will be of the least avail to them against God. They are destined for the fire, where they will abide." (Verses 16-17) The surah describes their abject and miserable position on the Day of Judgement when they will swear to God as they used to swear to people: "On the day when God will raise them all from the dead, they will swear before Him as they swear now fore you." This description suggests that hypocrisy had become so entrenched in their hearts that it would remain with them on the Day of Judgement, in the presence of God who knows people's deepest secrets and innermost thoughts: "Thinking that they have something to stand upon," when they actually stand on nothing, not even thin air.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

There is no hadith to tell as to when this incident of pleading and arguing took place, but there is a hint in the subject matter of the Surah on the basis of which it can be said with certainty that it happened sometime after the battle of the Trench (Shawwal, 5 A.H.). In Surah 33: al-Ahzab (The Confederates), God while negating that an adopted son could be one’s real son, had just said this and no more; “And God has not made those of your wives whom you divorce by dhihar your mothers.” But in that Surah there was nothing to the effect that to divorce a wife by dhihar was a sin or a crime, nor anything about the legal injunction concerning it. Contrary to it, in this Surah the whole law relating to dhihar has been laid down, which shows that these detailed injunctions were sent down some time after the brief reference to it in Surah 33: al-Ahzab (The Confederates).
