Read it below, then recite it aloud and let Qiraa correct you word by word.
What Sūrat at-Taḥrīm is about
Sūrat at-Taḥrīm has 12 āyāt in the twenty-eighth juzʼ. It opens by asking the Prophet why he forbids himself what Allah has made lawful for him, seeking to please his wives (66:1). It is named after this forbidding. It speaks of a secret he told one of his wives, which she disclosed (66:3).
The sūrah then tells the believers to guard themselves and their families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones (66:6), and to turn to Allah in sincere repentance (66:8). It gives four women as examples: the wives of Nūḥ and Lūṭ, who betrayed them, and the wife of Firʿawn (Pharaoh) and Maryam (Mary), daughter of ʿImrān, who believed (66:10–12).
- Āyāt 1–5
Why forbid what Allah allowed?
The Prophet is asked why he forbids what Allah made lawful for him. Allah has made a way to release oaths (66:2). One of his wives disclosed a secret he told her. Two of them are told to turn to Allah. Allah, Jibrīl (Gabriel), the righteous believers and the angels are his supporters (66:4).
- Āyāt 6–12
Four women as examples
Guard yourselves and your families from the Fire (66:6), and turn to Allah in sincere repentance (66:8). The wives of Nūḥ and Lūṭ betrayed them, and their husbands could not help them. The wife of Firʿawn prayed for a house near Allah in the Garden (66:11). Maryam, daughter of ʿImrān, guarded her chastity and believed (66:12).
