What are the seven Quranic surahs named after times?
Perhaps the esteemed questioner is referring to the surahs named after a time or in which Allah Almighty swore by time, namely: Al-Jumu'ah (Friday), Al-Fajr (Dawn), Al-Layl (The Night), Ad-Duha (The Morning Hours), Al-Asr (The Declining Day), Ash-Shams (The Sun), Al-Qamar (The Moon), An-Najm (The Star). The phrase "the seven times" is not mentioned in the books of Quranic sciences. Most scholars are of the opinion that the naming of the surahs of the Holy Quran is divinely ordained (Tawqifi).
