It takes its name from verse 25: “…… لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَنْزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْمِيزَانَ لِيَقُومَ النَّاسُ بِالْقِسْطِ ۖ وَأَنْزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ ُ.” The word “الْحَدِيدَ” means Iron. This Surah is also called الْمُسَبِّحَاتِ Surah as it begins with the glorification of Allah. The collective name of الْمُسَبِّحَاتِ assigns to the following 6 Surahs Hadid, Hashr, Saff, Jumuah, Taghabun and Surah Ala. The Surah was revealed in Madina most probably in a time period between the battle of Badr to the Treaty of Hudaibiyah. This was the time most critical in the history of newly Islamic state of Madina as they were under attack from all sides by non-believers and by nearby Jewish tribes. Therefore the central theme of Surah is to motivate Muslims for sacrifice not only physical but also monetary to help strengthen and securing the newly born Islamic state. This is mentioned clearly as you can see in verse 10 ١٠ وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلَّا تُنْفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَاثُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ لَا يَسْتَوِي مِنْكُمْ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ مِنْ قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِنَ الَّذِينَ أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا ۚ وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ10 And why you do not spend in the way of God while to God belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest and fought. Those are greater in degree than they who spent afterward and fought. But to all God has promised the best. And God, with what you do, is Acquainted. Ahmad bin Hanbal recorded that the Prophet of God PBUH used to recite الْمُسَبِّحَاتِ before he went to sleep, saying, إِنَّ فِيهِنَّ آيَةً أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ آيَة In them there is a verse that is better than a thousand verses. The Ayah referred to in this Hadith is هُوَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُ وَٱلۡأَخِرُ وَٱلظَّـٰهِرُ وَٱلۡبَاطِنُۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ #islam #islamic #quran #quranrecitation #quranpak #qurantranslation #qurantilawat #quranverses #quransurah #qurantarjuma #islamicvideos #quranrecitationreallybeautifulamazing #quranrecitationreallybeautiful #quranrecitation2024 #allah #allahuakbar #surahalhadid #surahhadid #surah #quranrecitation #quran #qurantilawat #qurantranslation #quranrecitationreallybeautiful #quranrecitationreallybeautifulamazing #qurantransliteration #islamicprayer #islamicsupplication #islamic #islamic #islam #islamicvideo #iron #hadid
