SURAT-ULMUMTAHINAH:VERSES(10-11)
AYAAH(60:10,60:11)
When women embraced islam
AHL-UL-KITAB
O you who believe! When there come to you believing women refugees,
examine (and test) them: Allah knows best as to their Faith: if ye ascertain
tat they are Believers, then send them not back to the Unbelievers. They are
not lawful (wives) for the Unbelievers, nor are the (Unbelievers) lawful
(husbands) for them. But pay the Unbelievers what they have spent (on their
dower), and there will be no blame on you if ye marry them on payment of
their dower to them. But hold not to the guardianship of unbelieving women:
ask for what ye have spent on their dowers, and let the (Unbelievers) ask for
what they have spent (on the dowers of women who come over to you). Such
is the command of Allah: He judges (with justice) between you. And Allah is
And if any of your wives deserts you to the Unbelievers, and ye have an
accession (by the coming over of a woman from the other side), then pay to
those whose wives have deserted the equivalent of what they had spent (on
their dower). And fear Allah, in Whom ye believe.
Reasons For Revelation
(Asbab-un-Nuzool)
As a condition in the Trety of AL-Hdaybiyah the pagans insisted
on a particular condition.If anyyone from them escaped
Makkah and reached the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H)he would
havr to return the person bak to them.However,if a Muslim left
Islam and escaped Madina to Makkah they would not have to
return the person to the Muslims.This condition was hard on
the Muslims to accept but the Kuffar insisted,so the Prophet
agreed
After the Treaty was signed,several Muslim men escaped from
the Quraysh but the Prophet (P.B.U.H) was forced to let the
Qurays take them back.Then Ummu-Kulthoom,the daughter of
Uqbah,escaped and fled to madina.When Quraysh came asking
for her,Allah revealed these verses stating that women are
exempt from being returned if they are found to be sicere
Related Hadeeth
Regarding the test in the verse, Ibn Abbas said
that when a woman would come to the
Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, he
would make her take an oath. She had to swear
that she did not leave Makkah because she
hated her husband and that she only migrated
out of a love for Allah and his Messenger.
Lesson Learned
 Muslims were ordered to verify the sincerity of new Muslim women
Muslims had to be sure that the new converts were sincere in embericing
Islam.In some cases,New converts were not sincerer and they migrated to
Madina for worldly moteives.Therefore it was important to verify that these
women were sincere Muslims before they integrated them into the Islamic
society.that is why this Surah is called Al-Mumtahinah (the tester or the
tested) because it called for testing the new converts.
 it is forbidden for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim
No Muslim woman is allowed to marry a nom-Muslim man regardless of how
nice or kind he may be.If a non-Muslim man wishes to marry a Muslim
woman.He must sincerely embrace Islam first the reason for such a ruling is
that in Islam the husband is the ultimate head of the house hold.This is a big
challenging responsibility that Allah has placed on men.If a Muslim woman is
married to a nom-Muslim man she would have full authority as a wife to raise
her children as a Muslim s and to run a home in accordance in Islam.Her
husband may not approve that in some cases.This might mean that she could
not stop haram food or alcohol from being consumed in her home
Certainly,such marriage is doomed to fail if the wife really valued her faith
It is not forbidden for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim
woman
When Muslims get married ,they want a partner who will help them become
better Muslims and to get a Paradise.so it is forbidden in Islam marry someone
who is not a Muslim
We must fear Allah and submit to his rulings
When Allah rules on something mw must fully obey that rule and
abide by it.Many Muslims don ot abide by God’s laws and rules
thinking they are no real concern .Allah is deeply displaced with
his servants whom he created and gave everything to when they
still disobey him and violates hid rules.

Allah, that they will not steal, that they will not commit adultery (or
fornication), that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter

The Messenger of Allah ,peace be upon him ,also used
these verse to take the pledge from the men.it is
related in Sahihi Al Bukhari ,that the Messenger of
Allah said to a group of Ansar ,”Do you pledge me not
to make partners with Allah ,or commit zina, or
adultary ,or steal …..- and he read the verse from this
Surah -.whoever fulfills this will have his reward with
Allah .who ever does any of these things and is
punished –in this life-will not be punished for it in the
life after. who ever does any of these things and Allah
hides it –so that it dose’nt become known – will have
the sin left up to Allah .either Allah will punish him or
he will forgive him”

Prophet Muhammed to ask a new Muslims to pledge that they would not fall
into these shameful sins.

are the following:
