Surah Al-Nisa (Chapter 4) is named after women. The word "Al-Nisa" is Arabic for "The Women," making it the surah whose title directly references women. It is one of the longest surahs in the Qur'an (176 verses) and addresses numerous issues relating to women's rights, including inheritance, marriage, dowry (mahr), the treatment of orphans, and family law.
Among the other options, Al-Talaq (Chapter 65) means "The Divorce" and deals with divorce proceedings, but is not named after a woman or women. Al-Ahzab (Chapter 33) means "The Confederate Tribes" and refers to the coalition of forces that attacked Madinah in the Battle of the Trench. Al-Mumtahanah (Chapter 60), meaning "She Who is Examined" or "The Examined Woman," also has a feminine reference in its title, relating to the testing of women who emigrated from Makkah. However, Al-Nisa is the most prominent and widely recognised surah named directly after women in the Qur'an.
