Name

This Surah takes its name from Verse No. 46-47 
(Arabic: وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ ۚ وَعَلَى الْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلًّا بِسِيمَاهُمْ ۚ وَنَادَوْا أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ  وَإِذَا صُرِفَتْ أَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَاءَ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ) in which mention of A'araf occurs.

نام

اس سورہ کا نام اَعراف اس لیے رکھا گیا ہے کہ ا س کی آیات ۴٦۔۴۷, وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ ۚ وَعَلَى الْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلًّا بِسِيمَاهُمْ ۚ وَنَادَوْا أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ وَإِذَا صُرِفَتْ أَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَاءَ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ میں اعراف اور اصحاب کا ذکر آیا ہے۔ گویا اسے”سورہ اَعراف“ کہنے کا مطلب یہ ہے کہ”وہ سورہ جس میں اَعراف کا ذکر ہے۔“

Period of Revelation

A study of its contents clearly shows that the period of its revelation is about the same as that of Al-Anam,the last year of the Holy Prophet's (Peace Be Upon Him) life at Makkah, but it cannot be asserted with certainty which of these two was sent down earlier. Anyhow the manner of its admonition clearly indicates that it belongs to the same period. As both have the same historical background the reader should keep in view the preface to Al-Anam.

زمانۂ نزول

اس کے مضامین پر غور کرنے سے بیّن طور پر محسوس ہوتا ہے کہ اس کا زمانہ نزول تقریباً وہی ہے جو سورہ انعام کا ہے ۔ یہ بات تو یقین ساتھ نہیں کہی جا سکتی کہ یہ پہلے نازل ہوئی ہے یا وہ ۔ مگر اندازِ تقریر سے صاف ظاہر ہو رہا ہے کہ ہے یہ اُسی دَور سے متعلق۔ لہذٰااس کے تاریخی پس منظر کو سمجھنے کے لیے اس دیباچہ پر ایک نگاہ ڈال لینا کافی ہوگا جو ہم نے سورہ انعام پر لکھا ہے ۔

Subject: Invitation to the Divine Message

Topics of Discussion

The principal subject of this surah is "Invitation to the Divine Message sent down to Mohammad  (Peace Be Upon Him)", which is couched in a warning. This is because the Messenger had spent a long time in admonishing the people of Makkah without any tangible effect on them. Nay, they had turned a deaf ear to his message and become so obdurate and antagonistic that, in accordance with the Divine Design, the Messenger was going to be commanded to leave them and turn to other people.That is why they are being admonished to accept the Message but, at the same time, they are being warned in strong terms of the consequences that followed the wrong attitude of the former people towards their Messengers.Now that the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) was going to migrate from Makkah the concluding portion of the address has been directed towards the people of the Book with whom he was going to come into contact. This meant that the time of migration was coming near and the "Invitation" was going to be extended to mankind in general, and was not to be confined to his own people in particular as before.
During the course of the address to the Jews, the consequences of their hypocritical conduct towards Prophethood have also been pointed out clearly, for they professed to believe in Prophet Moses (Peace On Him) but in practice opposed his teachings, disobeyed him and worshiped falsehood and consequently were afflicted with ignominy and disgrace.
At the end of the Surah, some instructions have been given to the Holy Prophet  (Peace Be Upon Him) and his followers for carrying out the work of the propagation of Islam with wisdom. The most important of these is that they should show patience and exercise restraint in answer to the provocations of their opponents. Above all, they have been advised that under stress of the excitement of feeling, they should not take any wrung step that might harm their cause.

مباحث

اس سورہ کی تقریر کا مرکزی مضمون دعوت رسالت ہے ساری گفتگو کا مدّعا یہ ہے کہ مخاطبوں کو خدا کے فرستادہ پیغمبر کی پیروی اختیار کرنے پر آمادہ کیا جائے۔ لیکن اس دعوت میں اِنذار(تنبیہ اور ڈرادے) کا رنگ زیادہ نمایا پایا جاتا ہے، کیونکہ جو لوگ مخاطب ہیں،(یعنی اہلِ مکّہ)انہیں سمجھاتے سمجھاتے ایک طویل زمانہ گزر چکا ہے اور اُن کی گراں گوشی، ہٹ دھرمی اور مخالفانہ ضد اس حد کو پہنچ چکی ہے کہ عنقریب پیغمبر کو اُن سے مخاطبہ بند کر کے دوسروں کی طرف رجوع کرنے کا حکم ملنے والا ہے۔ اس لیے تفہیمی انداز میں قبول رِسالت کی دعوت دینے کے ساتھ ان کو یہ بھی بتایا جا رہا ہے کہ جو روش تم نے اپنے پیغمبر کے مقابلہ میں اختیار کر رکھی ہے ایسی ہی روش تم سے پہلے کی قومیں اپنے پیغمبروں کے مقابلہ میں اختیار کر کے بہت بُرا انجام دیکھ چکی ہیں۔ پھر چونکہ ان پر حجت تمام ہونے کے قریب آگئی ہے اس لیے تقریر کے آخری حصّہ میں دعوت کا رُخ اُن سے ہٹ کر اہلِ کتاب کی طرف پھر گیا ہے اور ایک جگہ تمام دنیا کے لوگوں سے عام خطاب بھی کیا گیا ہے جو اس بات کی علامت ہے کہ اب ہجرت قریب ہے اور وہ دَور جس میں نبی کا خطاب تمام تر اپنے قریب کے لوگوں سے ہوا کرتا ہے، خاتمہ پر آلگا ہے۔
دورانِ تقریر میں چونکہ خطاب کا رُخ پہود کی طرف بھی پھر گیا ہے اس لیے ساتھ ساتھ دعوتِ رسالت کے اِ س پہلو کو بھی واضح کر دیا گیا ہے کہ پیغمبر پر ایمان لانے کے بعد اُس کے ساتھ منافقانہ روش اختیا کرنے ، اور سمع و طاعت کا عہد استوار کرنے بعد اُسے توڑ دینے ، اور حق اور باطل کی تمیز سے واقف ہو جانے کے نعد باطل پرستی میں مستفرق رہنے کا انجام کیا ہے۔سورہ کے آخر میں نبی صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہ و سلم اور آپ کے صحابہ کو حکمت ِ تبلیغ کے متعلق چند اہم ہدایات دی گئی ہیں اور خصوصیّت کے ساتھ انہیں نصیحت کی گئی ہے کہ مخالفین کی اشتعال انگیزیوں اور چیرہ دستیوں کے مقابلہ میں صبر و ضبط سے کام لیں اور جذبات کے ہیجان میں مبتلا ہو کر کوئی ایسا اقدام نہ کریں جو اصل مقصد کو نقصان پہنچانے والا ہو۔
