Dispossessional-Taghābun ( التغابن )

18 verses • revealed at Medinan

»The surah that calls the Day of Judgement the day of Dispossession. For those who abandon faith and choose to disbelieve shall lose Paradise and be thrown into Hellfire, cheated forever from felicity by their own souls and their leaders. Those who believe, however, shall gain Paradise against all the attempts of the unbelievers to distract them in the world from faith and goodness, guided away from Hellfire by God and His messengers. It takes its name from “they day of dispossession” (yawm al-taghābun) mentioned in verse 9. The surah opens with a description of God’s power, wisdom, and knowledge (verse 1 ff.). The disbelievers are reminded of the end of those who disbelieved before them (verse 5 ff.), and their denial of the Resurrection is strongly refuted (verse 7). The believers are urged to be wary but forgiving of the enemies they may have within their own families (verse 14 ff.) and warned to remain steadfast and to spend in God’s cause (verse 8 ff. and verse 16 ff.).«

The surah is also known as Cheating, Common Loss and Gain, Exposition, Haggling, Mutual Fraud, Mutual Neglect, Profit and Loss, The Day of Mutual Loss and Gain, The Mutual Loss and Gain
