47. Surah Muhammad is the 47th chapter of the Qur'an, containing 38 verses. It immediately follows Surah Al-Ahqaf, marking a sharp transition in the text from the late Meccan period to the early Medinan period. It is one of the few chapters explicitly named after the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), with its mention occurring in verse 2. While Surah Al-Ahqaf focused on patience in the face of intense persecution, Surah Muhammad marks the historical turning point where the Muslim community was granted the right to physically defend itself.
