Surah Al-Mumtahanah (The Woman who is Examined)

This is a Madani Surah.  It was revealed after the Treaty of Hudaibiyah and before the conquest of Makkah in the 6^th or 7^th year of Hijrah.  It has 13 verses in 2 sections.

The Surah deals with the relations of Muslims with non-Muslims.  It tells Muslims on the one hand not to take the enemies of Allah as their allies and patrons, but on the other hand it tells them not to consider every non-Muslim as their enemy.
