About the Surah

       Then He provided you with comfort after this distress when slumber overcame a group of you (and it wiped out your distress). And another group (hypocrites) was only worried about them and had wrong ideas about Allah. (These ideas) were the same as that time of ignorance. They said: “Do we have any say in the matter?” [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Say to them: “All authority belongs to Allah. They hide within themselves that which they do not reveal to you. They say: “If we had any say in the matter, none of us would have been killed here.” Say to them: “Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed, they would have come forth to the (appointed) places of their death.” And (this took place) so that Allah might test what is in your breast (i.e. Faith) and purify your hearts (from any doubts). Allah is All-Knower of what is in (your) breasts.
