Introduction โ from Tafheem-ul-Quran
A surah recalling that man was once nothing even worth mentioning, then was created from a drop to be tested. Its heart is the portrait of the righteous who fulfil vows and feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for Allah's sake alone: 'We feed you only for the countenance of Allah; we wish from you neither reward nor thanks.'
Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
