Introduction
Surah Al Anakabut (العنكبوت) is the 29th chapter of the Holy Quran, which is present in paras 19 and 20. Half of this surat is present in para 19, and the remaining part is in para 20. The sura takes its name from Ayat 41 where the word Ankabut is present, and it was revealed in Makkah. The word ankabut means ‘’the spider’’ but it does not mean that the whole surah talks about the spider. The disbelievers were opposing and fighting Islam tooth and Allah says that their example is like that of a house of spider that is the weakest shelter, so these people seek refuge in the idols, take as protectors other than God and look for the weakest support.
