[60] Surah Al-Mumtahanah mind map

Al-Mumtahanah settles what a Muslim owes people on the other side of a conflict. It forbids alliance with those fighting the religion, and in the same surah forbids treating peaceable non-Muslims unjustly — the two rulings sit ten verses apart.

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَاٱلْءَاخِرَ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ

  2. 2

    Those who did not fight you

    Ayahs 7-13

    عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُممِنَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ كَمَا يَئِسَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْقُبُورِ

    Allah may yet place affection between you; be just to the peaceable — then the testing of migrating women and the pledge.

Common questions

How long does it take to memorise Surah Al-Mumtahanah mind map?
At 3 ayahs a day, its 13 ayahs take 5 study days. Change the pace above and every date on this page updates.
Do I have to memorise it in order?
Most teachers keep the surah's own order, because the 2 blocks below follow one another for a reason. The map matters more than the sequence: knowing which block you are inside is what stops the similar passages blurring together.
Do I need a teacher for this?
You can memorise from a map alone, but almost nobody corrects their own recitation. A teacher hears the mistakes you cannot, and holds you to the schedule you just set.

A plan is easier to keep when someone is holding you to it

Book a first lesson with a Quran teacher and bring this schedule with you. Many of our teachers offer that first lesson free.
