An-Nisa
Surat An-Nisa ("The Women") is the 4th sura of the Qur'an, with 176 ayat. It is a Madinan sura. As its name suggests, it deals extensively with matters relating to women, outlining the requirements of modesty (including the verse traditionally interpreted to require wearing of the hijab), and touching on the matter of ma malakat aymanukum; however, it also describes a variety of other legal and ethical matters, such as inheritance law, marriage, and orphans. It also deals with matters relating to Medinan politics, in particular tensions with the Hypocrites (ie the party of Abdullah ibn Ubayy ) and the Jews.
