Editing: Surah Introduction

Description <p>The Surah talks about a bad social custom by which husbands in pre-Islamic times used to oppress their wives.  Some one would call his wife "mother" and thus would separate from her, but would not give her the divorce.  Allah condemned this custom.  The Surah also speaks about the hypocrites and other non-Muslim groups in Madinah who were involved in spreading rumors against the Prophet (saw). They are given warnings here and Muslims are urged to be alert and careful.</p> <p>Sections:</p> <ol> <li>The custom of Zihar is condemned. The rights of women should be protected.</li> <li>Allah is aware of the secret counsels of the hypocrites.  Believers should not involve in such activities. The rules of gatherings in Islam.</li> <li>Be aware of the internal enemies also.  Do not take as patrons those who are the enemies of Allah and His Messenger.</li> </ol> <p>This Surah takes it name from the first Ayat,  <big>قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّـهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي <strong>تُجَادِلُكَ </strong>فِي زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِي إِلَى اللَّـهِ وَاللَّـهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ</big>  "Certainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who <em>argues </em>with you, [O Muhammad], concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allah. And Allah hears your dialogue; indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing."  (58:1)</p> <p>The name of Allah is mentioned in every Ayat of this Surah. </p> <p>There are 22 Ayat in this Surah.</p>
