What are the Surahs called "Al-Munqidhah - Al-Ha'ilah - Tayyibah"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It has not been established that these names are names for some chapters (Surahs) of the Quran. There is no authenticated report that Al-Ma'idah was named "Al-Munqidhah" (The Deliverer), or Surah Al-Kahf was named "Al-Ha'ilah" (The Barrier), nor has the naming of Surah Aal-Imran as "Tayyibah" (The Good) been proven. All reports in this regard are weak or disconnected, and cannot be relied upon for naming the Surahs, because the names of the Surahs are divinely ordained (Tawqifiyyah) from the Lawgiver (the Shari').
