Surah Al-Tahrim (The Prohibition)

This is a Madani Surah revealed around the 7^th year of Hijrah. It has 12 verses in 2 sections.

The Surah tells the spouses not to ignore Allah’s rules in their love for each other.  It refers to an incident that took place between the Prophet and his wives.  This incident is used to instruct the Believers to understand the nature of Halal and Haram and to understand that the success and salvation in the Hereafter will not be based on family or tribal relations, but purely on faith in Allah.
