The names of the Surahs are divinely ordained (Tawqifiyyah), meaning they were given specific names by divine command from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The names of the Surahs have been confirmed as divinely ordained through and narrations. The Arabs, in naming the Surahs, considered what was most prominent within them, as in the naming of Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) due to the story of the cow mentioned therein, and Surat An-Nisa (The Women) due to the abundance of rulings concerning women mentioned within it.
