Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

59: (Al-Hashr)- Banishment

(The Gathering)Section 28 (juz')Number of Verses: 24


Sūra al-Ḥashr is the fifty-ninth sura of the quran. It is a madani sura located in juz twenty eight. The name of sura is adopted from the second verse which mentions the exile of jews from medina. Sura al-Hashr begins with the praise of god and ends with His glorification. The topics mentioned in this sura are defeat of the Jews of banu nadir by muslims, the rulings about distribution of properties and booties Muslims gained without war, criticism of hypocrites and disclosing their actions, description and admiration of the immigrants' sacrifices.

It is mentioned in that when a person recites Sura al-Hashr, all creatures praise him and send blessings upon him and ask for his forgiveness and if he dies that day or that night, he will be considered a martyr.

The blessed Chapter has twenty-four Verses and it was revealed in Medina.

The Arabic word

hashr ("gathering")

is mentioned in the second Verse, hence the designation of the Chapter. The word does not denote gathering on the Day of Resurrection, but it connotes people's gathering for migration.

The blessed Chapter opens and closes with the glorification of God Almighty by all the world of existence. The blessed Chapter mainly treats of hypocrites' collaboration with Medinan Jews against the Muslims, though the Holy Qur'an says that their stratagems lead to nothing but their humiliation and defeat.

Numerous merits have been mentioned for the recitation of the blessed Chapter in question.

According to a Prophetic tradition, whoever recites Surah al-Hashr, Paradise, Hell, Throne, the seven heavens and the earth, as well as animals, winds, birds, trees, creatures, the sun, the moon, and all angels invoke God Almighty that He may bestow His Mercy upon him and forgive him. Had he died on that day or night, he will be a martyr. Such blessings will be bestowed upon the recite owing to reflection upon its contents as the same reflects in man's life.
