The Surah derives its name from verse 71 and 73 in which the word zumar has occurred.

<h2>Name</h2>
<p>The Surah derives its name from verse <a href=/39/71>71</a> and <a href=/39/73>73</a> in which the word <em>zumar</em> has occurred.</p>
<h2>Period of Revelation</h2>
<p>In <a href=/39/10>verse 10</a> (<em>wa ardullah-i-wasi atun</em> : and Allah's earth is vast) there is abundant evidence that this Surah was sent down before the migration to Habash. Some traditions provide the explanation that this verse was sent down in respect of Hadrat Ja'far bin Abi Talib and his companions when they made up their mind to emigrate to Habash.(<em>Ruh al-Maani</em>, vol. XXII, p. 226).</p>
<h2>Theme and Subject matter</h2>
<p>The entire Surah is a most eloquent and effective address which was given some time before the emigration to Habash, in an environment filled with tyranny and persecution, ill-will and antagonism, at Makkah. It is a sermon whose addressees mainly are the unbelieving Quraish, although here and there the believers also have been addressed. In it the real aim of the invitation of Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) had been enunciated, which is this:Man should adopt Allah's servitude sincerely, and should not pollute his God worship with the service of any other. Presenting this cardinal principle in different ways over and over again, the truth of <em>Tauhid</em> and the excellent results of accepting it, and the falsehood of <em>shirk</em> and the evil consequences of following it, have been explained in a most forceful way, and the people exhorted to give up their wrong way of life and return to the mercy of their Lord. In this very connection, the believers have
been instructed, as if to say:"If a place has become narrow for the worship and service of Allah, His earth is vast: you may emigrate to some other place in order to save your faith: Allah will reward you for your patience."On the other hand, the Holy Prophet has been encouraged, so as to say:"Tell the disbelievers plainly that they may do whatever they like, but their persecutions and tyrannies will never deter you from the way of Islam; that they may go on doing their worst to obstruct your way, but you will continue to perform your mission in spite of the adverse conditions and circumstances."</p>


ولئن سالتهم من خلق السماوات والارض ليقولن الله قل افرايتم ما تدعون من دون الله ان ارادني الله بضر هل هن كاشفات ضره او ارادني برحمة هل هن ممسكات رحمته قل حسبي الله عليه يتوكل المتوكلون

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِىَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَـٰشِفَـٰتُ ضُرِّهِۦٓ أَوْ أَرَادَنِى بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَـٰتُ رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ

TRETTIONIONDE SURAN
AZ-ZUMAR (SKARORNA)
Mekka-perioden
DENNA sura, som uppenbarades vid mitten av Mekka-perioden, har
fått sitt namn efter det i och för sig föga betydelsefulla ordet zumaran
(”skara efter skara”) förekommande i verserna 71 och 73. Dess centrala
tema är den styrka med vilken alla krafter och fenomen i naturen vittnar
om existensen av en Gud – varav följer att det är Han ensam som kan avgöra
människans öde och att det är inför Honom som människan ytterst
är ansvarig. En väsentlig tanke uttrycks i vers 53 – ”Om ni har gjort
orätt mot er själva genom att överträda [Mina bud], misströsta då inte
om Guds nåd. Gud förlåter alla synder”, dvs. Han förlåter den som ångrar
sina synder före sin död. En stor del av suran upptas följaktligen av
allegorier över den Yttersta stunden och Domens dag – Gud ger nämligen
”på detta sätt Sina tjänare anledning att frukta Honom” (vers 16),
liksom Han också lovar de rättfärdiga att ”[de] hos sin Herre skall finna
allt vad de önskar” (vers 34).
