Surah Al-Mumtahina, revealed in Madinah, provides guidance on interactions between Muslims and non-Muslims, particularly concerning allegiance, marriage, and loyalty. The name “The Woman to be Examined” refers to the procedure for testing the faith of women seeking to join the Muslim community. The surah emphasizes the importance of loyalty to Allah and His Messenger while balancing compassion and justice in dealings with others. It instructs believers not to form alliances with enemies of Islam, but also highlights the possibility of forgiveness and reconciliation when hostility ends. The chapter underscores ethical conduct, the protection of one’s community, and maintaining integrity in matters of faith and social relations.
