A cikin wannan sura, kamar yadda yake a wasu surori da suke biye da ita, ana kiran mu mu shaida wasu daga cikin al'amuran da al'ummar Musulunci ta farko ta fuskanta yayin da take fara fitowa a Madinah. Ta haka ne muke ganin yadda aka tsara ta aka shirya ta domin ta sauke nauyin da ke kanta a duniya. Aiki ne babba, tun daga samar da wani sabon tsari na rayuwa, cikakke kuma mai cikakken bayani, wanda har yanzu yake zama tushen yadda al'ummar Musulmi take gudanar da al'amuranta na zahiri. Al'ummar Musulmi ta farko, duk da haka, ita ce za ta gabatar da wannan tsari ga duniya; nauyin da ke kanta ne ta kafa sabon tushen rayuwa bisa wannan tsari.

In this surah, as in several that follow, we are invited to witness some of the events that the first Islamic society experienced as it began to take shape in Madlnah. In this way, we see how it was moulded and prepared to undertake its role in the world. It was a huge undertaking, starting with the development of a new, complete and comprehensive concept of life that continues to serve as the basis for how the Muslim community conducts its practical affairs. That first Muslim community, however, was to present this concept to the world; it was its responsibility to establish a new foundation for life based on this concept.
