Surah Masad: A Chapter About God’s Cursing the Evil Uncle of the Prophet Abu Lahab

Surah Masad (Arabic: مسد) also called Surah Tabbat (Arabic: تَبَّتْ) and Abi Lahab (Arabic: أبی لهب) is the one hundred eleventh surah of the Quran in Juz’ 30, with 5 verses and 22 words. The content of the surah deals with Abu Lahab, the paternal uncle of the messenger of God (S) and one of his adversaries. Surah Masad takes its name from verse 5 in which the phrase “حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍ” meaning ‘a rope of palm fiber’ is mentioned. This rope shall be twisted around the neck of Abu Lahab’s wife in hellfire as she used all her efforts to oppose and torture Muhammad (S). https://islam4u.pro/blog/surah-masad/
