حوامیم سورتوں کے خصائص اور معنوی ولفظی مشترکات

Characteristics and Semantic Commonalities of Hawāim Surahs

Abstract

Among the twenty-nine surahs beginning with disconnected letters (Al-ḥurūf al-Muqaṭṭaa), seven begin with the disconnected letters Ḥāmīm. These surahs are commonly known in traditional Muslim sources as the Ḥawāmīm. There are similarities in these Surahs. The themes are similar to the preceding Meccan surahs. This is fact that these surahs together form an interconnected group. They reveal a clear sense of character and unity. The Hawāmim Surahs have a special distinction and division in which they have in common the value of a resemblance in every aspect. In Tafaseer Ulema have talked about these similarities but not in much detail. This article aims to reflect on these similarities.
