Surah An-Nisa and the Just Heart: Its Virtues, Its Key Verses and Its Reflections

Surah An-Nisa is the surah of the people who are easily forgotten: the orphan, the widow, the wife, the neighbour, the weak. In one night prayer the Prophet ﷺ recited it right after Surah Al-Baqarah, before Surah Al Imran. This book is Book 3 in the series that began with The Power of Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al Imran and the Firm Heart.

Across twenty-three short chapters in seven parts, the book walks through the key verses of the surah: the orphan’s wealth, the Lord who wants to lighten your burden, kindness and reconciliation at home, rendering trusts to their owners, standing firm for justice even against yourself, the open door of repentance, the rights of the neighbour, the verse that brought the Prophet ﷺ to tears, and the last verse to come down.

Every verse is given in Arabic as it appears on quran.com, with the Saheeh International translation. Every hadith is quoted from its original collection with its full reference, and each chapter ends with a reflection to help you carry the surah into your own life.
