Methodology and Scriptural References
📌 The study relies on eight authoritative tafsir books, including *Tafsir at-Thabari* and *Tahrir Wat Tanwir* by Sheikh Muhammad Thahir bin Ashur, copied directly from the source texts.
📜 The foundation of Islamic knowledge transmission is the sanad (chain of narration), which connects all fields related to the Quran and Sunnah back to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
📖 The current discussion centers on Surah Ad-Duha, which is set to be analyzed contextually, historically, and practically for contemporary life.

Historical Context of Revelation
🔍 Surah Ad-Duha was the 11th surah revealed chronologically, sent down after Surah Al-Fajr and simultaneously with Surah Al-Insyirah, all during the Meccan period before the Hijra.
⛰️ The first revelation occurred in Hira Cave on Jabal Nur, a challenging location approximately 6–7 km from the Prophet’s home, emphasizing the need for physical strength alongside intellectual pursuit.
🙅‍♂️ The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) experienced a pause in revelation lasting 40 days after Surah Al-Muddaththir, causing him distress and leading to increased vigilance in spiritual practice.

Trials and Accusations During Revelation Pause
🗣️ During the 12–15 day gap following the first 10 surahs, the Prophet (PBUH) faced taunts and open hostility from the polytheists (Makkans).
🤥 The primary accusation was that the Quran was mere poetry (syiir), comparing it to the works of contemporary poets who claimed inspiration from specific *setan* (jinn).
💔 The accusations escalated to include the claim that "Muhammad’s shepherd (setan) has abandoned him," leading to clear, tangible enmity from figures like Abu Lahab's wife, Umm Jamil.

Spiritual Strategy and Application
🧘‍♂️ The selection of Hira Cave as the place for *tahannuth* (seclusion/contemplation) was strategic; it directly faced the Kaaba and offered a vantage point to observe the community's corruption.
🏡 A key domestic lesson is that the wife’s presence provides tranquility (Sakinah); seeing Khadijah’s face instantly removed half of the Prophet’s fear after his harrowing experience.
✨ The core message of Surah Ad-Duha, revealed after the trials, affirms God’s continuous care: "Did He not find you an orphan and give you refuge? And He found you wandering and guided you?" (Verses 6 & 7).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Seek spiritually conducive environments (like the Prophet sought Hira Cave) that aid in connecting with Allah, even if the path involves physical difficulty ("climbing hills").
➡️ During times of spiritual doubt or withdrawal (like the 40-day gap in revelation), maintain consistency in worship using the established early revelations (Surah Al-‘Alaq, Al-Qalam, Al-Muzzammil, Al-Muddaththir).
➡️ Marital support is crucial for resilience; a spouse's calming presence can dissipate fear and stress, enabling better engagement with spiritual matters afterward (e.g., Tilawah).
➡️ When evaluating knowledge sources (like hadith collections), understand the classifications (Jami, Sunan, Musnad, Mu’jam); for example, *Jami* collections like Sahih Al-Bukhari cover comprehensive life themes.
