Introduction โ€” from Tafheem-ul-Quran

When the Prophet ๏ทบ called the Quraysh from Mount Safa and warned them, his own uncle Abu Lahab cried: 'May you perish!' The surah turned the curse back โ€” 'Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab' โ€” and prophesied that he and his wife, the carrier of firewood, would die in disbelief; both did, exactly as foretold.

Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
