وَمَنۡ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ مَعَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَنۡعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ مِّنَ النَّبِيّٖنَ وَالصِّدِّيۡقِيۡنَ وَالشُّهَدَآءِ وَالصّٰلِحِيۡنَ‌ ۚ وَحَسُنَ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ رَفِيۡقًا ؕ‏ ذٰ لِكَ الۡـفَضۡلُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ‌ ؕ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ عَلِيۡمًا
It is referred to as ‘an-Nisa’ [The Women] – many of the rulings regarding women and family life are in this Surah. The word ‘an-Nisa’ occurs with more frequency in this Surah then in any other Surah – being mentioned 18 times [Interestingly, the word Man/Men – occur more times in this Surah than any other Surah – total of 8 times].
اور جو لوگ خدا اور اس کے رسول کی اطاعت کرتے ہیں وہ (قیامت کے روز) ان لوگوں کے ساتھ ہوں گے جن پر خدا نے بڑا فضل کیا یعنی انبیاء اور صدیق اور شہید اور نیک لوگ اور ان لوگوں کی رفاقت بہت ہی خوب ہے یہ خدا کا فضل ہے اور خدا جاننے والا کافی ہے
According to many scholars, the Surah was revealed after the Battle of Uhud, which left 70 of the Muslims killed. This situation brought about the need to address issues such as inheritance left by those killed etc. Hence in Surah an-Nisa, Allah Almighty address issues such as dealing with orphans [including children of those killed at Uhud] and inheritance.
