Surah Al Masad (meaning “Palm Fiber”) is the 111th surah of The Quran with 5 short verses.
It is given name ‘Palm Fiber’ based off verse 5 where it describes the rope being twisted around the Neck of the wife of Muhammad’s uncle Abu Lahab. In the Tafsir by Ibn Kathir it is discussed how she bitterly opposed Islam. Umm Jamil called her “the bearer of the wood” because she is said to have carried thorns and cast them in Muhammad’s pathway as to injure his feet.
