Conclusion

This Surah has three names 1: Surah Al-Lahab, 2:Surah Tabbat, 3: Surah Al-Massad. Abu Lahab is the enemy of the Islamic Prophet Hazrat Muhammad. This sura comes from verse 5, where the term “ḥablun min Massad” (meaning “palm fiber rope”) refers to a palm fiber rope that goes to hell around a woman’s neck. Who are sharply against Islam; because he was proud to be able to wear the open-chain he knew of, and to keep the night calm, he spread Muhammad’s thorns and thistles to bruise his legs.
