»The surah that declares that God absolves of misdeeds, and sets right the intellects, of those who work righteousness and who believe in all that God has sent down upon His final Messenger to humankind, Muḥammad. It takes its name from verse 2, where the name of the Prophet occurs. The surah deals with issues of war, those who try to prevent conversion to Islam and the carrying out of God’s commands, and the fate of the hypocrites. It specifically mentions the iniquity of those who expelled the Prophet from Mecca, it describes the futility of the disbelievers’ attempts to oppose God and His Prophet, and it urges the Muslims to obey God in all matters, lest their good deeds come to nothing on the Day of Judgement like those of the disbelievers and hypocrites.«

The surah is also known as Mohammad, Muhammad (the Prophet)
