Surah taha (Arabic:سورة طه) is one of the surahs where it is named after the first word in it. It’s also called the Converser, the main idiom which was to emphasize the mercy and justice of God to his messengers, by showing the moral of hard plights the prophets go through and saved by the grace of God, as in the story of Moses had been simplified to set an example of God’s wisdom in testing hardship,

The story of Moses, from his birth to his exodus as an emigrant to Madyan, fleeing from Pharaoh’s tyranny and his tyranny.
Then his return to Pharaoh and the confrontation between him and the magicians, his victory over them, his exodus with the children of Israel, and the destruction of Pharaoh and his army.
taha surah mentioned in detail the story of Moses and Aaron with the great tyrant Pharaoh, and almost most of the surat toha is talking about it, especially the attitude of Moses’s silent supplication to Allah.
The attitude of Moses on his mission, the argument between Moses and Pharaoh, and the dueling contest between Moses and the witches are reflected in the corners of that story by God’s patronage of his prophet and his Word, and by God’s destruction of his enemies.
It presented Adam’s story quickly, in which God’s mercy on Adam emerged after his sin, the god’s gift to his descendants by sending missionaries and foreshadows, and then leaving them the choice between the path of good or evil.
surah al taha was also on display for the day of Great Doomsday, where fair retribution is done, obedient servants go to paradise, and disobedient go to Jahannam, to ensure God’s promise – which is not left behind – to prove to believers and punish sinners.

Surah taha meaning

It was called (surah ta ha) because of the meaning of these two letters of the call to the Prophet. In Tafsir al-Tabari, it came the Tafsir of al-Tabari that (Ta-Ha) in Nabataean means the man, and this is a kind of honoring and tribute to the prophet.

The scholars and the interpreter argued about the interpretation of his saying (surah e taha)
so some of them said Ta-Ha might mean the Nobleman or a name of God’s names
Imam Ibn Baz said: Yasin is not of the prophet’s name, and (sura ta ha ) is not his name either.
Some people think it, and it is not, neither Taha, nor Yasin, nor other Surahs openers, but they are letters cut like: (L M) and like (H AM) and like (A L M S) and their likes, all letters cut at the beginning of Surahs, God has great wisdom – swim it up – and not the names of the Prophet but said: Surah Taha, Surah Yasin, Surah (A l M S), surah (H A M) Like It’s Okay.
The prophet had several names, but the most famous of them is Mohammed, Ahmad – and Al-Mahi, Al-Haqqi, and Al-Meqqvi, as stated in the Hadith, Prophet of Repentance, Prophet of the Mercy, and the Prophet of the Saga.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud:

Surah Bani-Israel, Al-Kahf (The Cave), Maryam, Taha, and Al-Anbiya’ (The Prophets) are among my first earnings and my old property, and (in fact) they are my old property.

Sahih al-Bukhari

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، يَقُولُ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالْكَهْفِ وَمَرْيَمَ وَطَهَ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ إِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْعِتَاقِ الأُوَلِ وَهُنَّ مِنْ تِلاَدِي‏.‏

When was Surah Taha revealed?

Surah Taha was revealed to the Prophet – may God’s prayers and peace be upon him – at the end of the fourth year of the Prophet’s mission, and the beginning of the fifth year of the mission.

This taha surah was revealed after the revelation of Surah Maryam, and its main purpose is to establish the principles of religion, monotheism, prophethood, and resurrection.

How was Surah Taha revealed?

The main reason for the revelation of Surah Taha is that the infidels were mocking the Prophet because the Prophet prayed and prayed to perform the Optional Night Prayer until dawn, and it was hard and exhausting on him but continued to pray until his heels and feet swelled. “You are miserable to leave the religion of your forefathers.” Al-Nadr bin Al-Harith and the infields said that to the prophet
So the prophet said to them, “I am only a mercy to the world.”
So God Almighty revealed this phrase to amuse and to steadfastness the Noble Prophet.
It is said that it was revealed after Muqatil said, Abu Jahl and Al-Nadr bin Al-Harith said to the prophet ( you are miserable to leave our religion) after they saw his diligence and his devotion to the worship,
So this verse was revealed to console the Messenger and that God did not send the Quran down to make him miserable.
(Ta-Ha, We have not sent down to you the Qur’an that you are distressed about)

( طه. مَا أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ لِتَشْقَى)

Where was Surah Taha revealed?

Surah Taha is one of the oft-repeated Surahs, and it is one of the Meccan Surahs that was revealed to the Prophet – may God’s prayers and peace be upon him – in holy Mecca, with the exception of verses (131-132), which were revealed in Medina.

and its arrangement of Surah in the Holy Quran is the twentieth, it is also located in the sixteenth part, and the thirty-second party, and the number of verses is one hundred and thirty-five.

Why was the surah named Taha?

As we mentioned above, surat toha was named after the beginning of it. There are interpreters who say that Taha is one of God’s names.
Other scholars say it’s one of the sporadic names where it came before in some Surahs, and Ta-Ha in Syriac means the man.
Some pointed out that Taha is an oath of God to assure the prophet’s faith that Allah did not reveal the Quran to wretch him, as the infidels said, because of the tirelessness and diligence of the messenger in worship.
It also named Surah, the epithet of Moses, as it mentioned the prophet Moses’ story with Pharaoh.

What is the main theme of surah taha?

About the main themes of sura ta ha, it is one of the Surahs that focused on the pillars of the Islamic faith, defined God – the Almighty – and also supported the sincerity of the Prophet, and affirmed that the Holy Qur’an and the Prophet’s message are from God and that the Resurrection is true.

God’s tribute to the prophet

from the verse: (We did not send down the Qur’an to you so that you might be wretched), and even the verse: (Allah – there is no deity except Him. To Him belong to the best names).
Allah wants to remind people that the Quran sending wasn’t for their misery or fatigue.
Rather, God Almighty sent it down for people’s happiness and salvation, for it is revealed by a merciful Lord who is characterized by all the attributes of perfection and greatness.

Moses story

The next theme of Surah Taha in the verses of Moses’ story: (And has the story of Moses reached you?)
Till the verse says: (Indeed, we have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and what you compelled us [to do] of magic. And Allah is better and more enduring).
The story in detail, its beginning was with God’s words to Moses on Mount Sinai and his duty to go to Pharaoh and invite him to believe in God, and lift the oppression from the Tribe of Israel.
and God’s support with miracles indicating the truthfulness of his prophecy.
Moses went with his brother to counsel Pharaoh.
Surah Taha also spoke of the childhood of the Prophet Moses, where God saved him from the oppression of Pharaoh.
and made him live and grow in the palace of his enemy.
All of that is evidence of the weakness of Pharaoh who sees in himself God and the strong.
verses are transmitted to talk about the meeting of Pharaoh and Moses and the steadfastness of the Prophet Moses to the truth.
the bringing of Pharaoh to his sorcerers and the miracle is done by turning his stick Moses into a big snake that grabs the magicians’ sticks and their ropes.
So the magicians fell down in prostration to God.
believing in the god of Moses, and Pharaoh tortures them with the most severe torment for what they did
But that does not deviate them from their belief in the One God, and sorcerers die on faith

The reward for the believers in the life hereafter

The verses start from (Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal – indeed, for him it is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live)
The verse says (Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself)
Describe the gardens of bliss, which will be the penalty for magicians, the believers on the Day of Resurrection, and the reward for every believer in God Almighty in every time and place.

Moses’ battle against Pharaoh and the manipulation of Saimiri

Verses from (And we had inspired Moses, travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken by Pharaoh nor be afraid of drowning), till (Thus, we relate to you from the news of what has preceded. We have certainly sent you a message)
Refer to the story of the Prophet of God Moses against the tyrant Pharaoh and his army
Describe how God saved him and the tribe of Israel from the oppression of Pharaoh
by splitting the sea for them and providing them with graces to live a decent life.
When Moses went to meet his Lord, they forgot the monotheist of God and followed a man named Saimiri
He made a calf of gold for them and commanded them to worship it.
So Moses returned from meeting his Lord to find this disaster, and he became very angry with the tribe of Israel.
He blamed his brother Aaron for not forbidding them to do this evil
He ordered the calf to be burned and ordered people to retire from the Samaritan
Then the verses became clear to the Prophet Muhammad that the Quran told the story of Moses in order to take morals from it for the Muslim

The horror of the Day of Resurrection

In the verses: ( Whoever turns away from it – then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden) till (But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer – he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation)
verses describe the Day of Resurrection and describe the events and horrors of the doom’s day
A day when the wicked will be certain and the liar will believe that there is no power except for the one who is all-powerful, and there is no word except for Allah.
And in the verses in the Almighty says: (So high above all is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, Muḥammad, do not hasten with the recitation of the Quran before its revelation is completed to you, and say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge to support and relieve Prophet Mohamed.”
Before that, he repeats the verses behind Gabriel – peace be upon him when they are revealed for fear of forgetting them

Adams story

Then God Almighty presents the story of Adam to remind the Islamic nation of the first lesson for humanity in this world.

In the verses from (And we had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot, and we found not in his determination) till the verse (descend from it (Paradise), all (your descendants) being enemies to one another). If there should come to you guidance from me – then whoever follows my guidance will neither go astray (in the world) nor suffer the Hereafter)
The reason for Adam’s descent from Paradise was doing something that God forbade him to do, which is eating from a tree in Paradise.
And this is how humans in this world have a choice between what is permissible and what is forbidden.
So whoever goes to the permissible deeds will be saved and go to heaven, and whoever chooses the forbidden has deprived himself of much good in the hereafter
and disturbed the peace of his life in this world before the hereafter,
This is the purpose of Satan from him to seduce him as he tempted his father Adam before that.
And in the verse: (And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed life, and we will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind)
The most dangerous and important divine lesson is that a happy and calm life is completely linked to obedience to God.
to follow His commands and to be saved from your hardship and suffering.
(And thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. The punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring)
until the last verse in Surah Taha, (Say, Each[of us is waiting; so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided)
The beginning of Surah Taha is related to its end to show its main purpose of it.
The main purpose of Surah Taha is that the Quran is the method of happiness for man in this world
The Quran is the word of God and what he interpreted from the words of the Messenger of God – may God’s prayers and peace be upon him. this world and will perish in the hereafter.

surah taha makki or madani?

Surah taha is one of the Meccan surahs that were revealed to the Prophet – in Mecca, with the exception of verses “131-132”, which were revealed in Medina, and the arrangement of this surah is the twenty in the Noble Quran.

How to memorise surah taha?

The most recommended method to easily memorize the Quran is continuous repetition.

This is done by repeating the first verse from Surah Taha to be memorized twenty times
then repeat the following verses; each verse separately
Twenty times for each verse, and so on
until the verses reach four verses from taha surah
Then your memory connection between the four verses is completed.
Then repeat them more than twenty times
Then start with four other verses to memorize
and each verse is repeated twenty times in the same way as before.
Then the four new verses are linked to the previous by repeating all more twenty times
Once, and then what was linked in the two memorizations is repeated twenty times
And upon completion of memorizing one section of taha surah
And before beginning the new memorization, revise it again.
This memorization is repeated twenty times
until it is firmly established
and then begin with the new memorization section.

This method is one of the most effective methods not only to memorize the Quran but also for memorizing any new information in your mind. You could also use it while learning new languages!

Hadith on surah taha

It was narrated that Al-Qasim said:

The Greatest Name of Allah, if He is called by which He will respond, is in three Surah: Al-Baqarah, Al ‘Imran, and Ta-Ha. (Hasan)Another chain for something similar from Al-Qasim, from Abu Umamah, from the Prophet.

Suna Ibn Majah

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ الأَعْظَمُ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ فِي سُوَرٍ ثَلاَثٍ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ وَطَهَ ‏.‏

Abū Huraira (RA) reported Allah’s Messenger (SAW) as saying, “A thousand years before creating the heavens and the earth Allah recited Tā’ Hā’ (Qur’ān, 20) and Yā’ Sīn, and when the angels heard the recitation they said, ‘Happy are a people to whom this comes down, happy are the minds which carry this, and happy are the tongues which utter this’.” Dārimī transmitted it.

Mishkat al-Masabih 2148, Book 8, Hadith 39

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَرَأَ (طه) و (يس) قبل أَن يخلق السَّمَوَات وَالْأَرْضَ بِأَلْفِ عَامٍ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَتْ طُوبَى لِأُمَّةٍ يَنْزِلُ هَذَا عَلَيْهَا وَطُوبَى لِأَجْوَافٍ تَحْمِلُ هَذَا وَطُوبَى لِأَلْسِنَةٍ تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا» . رَوَاهُ الدَّارمِيّ

surah taha benefits

There were many narrations about the Islam of Omar Ibn Al-Khattab and Surah Taha

One of them was that one day he was out of patience with the Prophet, and the Muslims
He decided to kill the Prophet and eliminate the daawah
to preserve the unity of Quraysh from the division that occurred after the Prophet’s mission
as it was He thought, and he went out with his sword on, heading to the house of al-Arqam ibn Abi al-Arqam, where Muslims gather with the Prophet.
A man met him on the road who had hidden his Islam.
He asked Omar about his destination while he was in such anger.
