What is surah as Saff about? The theme of Surah Saf is to tell Muslims to be more sincere in faith and do their best to please Allah. the surah addresses the Muslims who have weak faith, the new Muslims who entered Islam with the false profession of the Faith, and the ones who were sincere in their profession. In this surah, Allah shows the believers the most beloved work to him and what he hates. As Allah says in Surah as-Saff: يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ٢ “O believers! Why do you say what you do not do?” كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ٣ “How despicable it is in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do!” إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ صَفًّۭا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَـٰنٌۭ مَّرْصُوصٌۭ ٤ “Surely Allah loves those who fight in His cause in ˹solid˺ ranks as if they were one concrete structure.” [surah As-Saff, 2:5] In verse 5:7, Allah shows how the disbelievers didn’t believe prophets Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them). Even though they know that prophet Moses (peace be upon him) is a Messenger of God they kept mistreating him and hurting him. And the people of prophet Isa (peace be upon him) didn’t believe him despite all the signs and miracles they saw. The disbelievers choose to ignore the clear guidance given to them. In verse number 8, Allah challenges the disbelievers, saying: “The Jews and the Christians, and the hypocrites, who are conspiring with them, may try however hard they may to extinguish this Light of Allah, it will shine forth and spread in the world in all its fullness, and the Religion brought by the true Messenger of Allah shall prevail over every other religion however hateful it may be to the pagans and polytheists.” Then in the following verses Allah shows the believers how to succeed in life and the Hereafter and says: “O believers! Shall I guide you to an exchange that will save you from a painful punishment? ˹It is to˺ have faith in Allah and His Messenger and strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you if only you knew. He will forgive your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and ˹house you in˺ the splendid homes in the Gardens of Eternity. That is the ultimate triumph. ˹He will also give you˺ another favor that you long for help from Allah and an imminent victory. ˹So˺ give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the believers. O believers! Stand up for Allah, as Jesus, son of Mary, asked the disciples, “Who will stand up with me for Allah?” The disciples replied, “We will stand up for Allah.” Then a group from the Children of Israel believed while another disbelieved. We then supported the believers against their enemies, so they prevailed.” Where was surah as Saff revealed? As Saff surah was revealed to the holy prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) during his residence in Medina. When was surah as Saff revealed? The time when the surah was revealed is not known, however, based on the subject matter of Suah As Saff it can be concluded that it was revealed closely following the Battle of Uhud. Why the surah was named As Saff? Surah Saff or The Ranks derived its name from verse number 4, where the word Saff is mentioned. إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ صَفًّۭا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَـٰنٌۭ مَّرْصُوصٌۭ ٤ Surely Allah loves those who fight for His cause in ˹solid˺ ranks (Saff) as if they were one concrete structure.
