The word ‘Qad’ (قَدْ) in Arabic is a particle that gives emphasis, usually translated as indeed or surely. Its occurrence at the beginning of a verse highlights the certainty of the statement being made. In the Holy Qur’an, two Surahs begin with the word ‘Qad’.

1. 
   

   Surah Al-Mujadila (58:1) – “Qad sami‘a Allahu qawla allatee tujadiluka fee zawjiha…”
   Translation: “Indeed Allah has heard the statement of the woman who argues with you concerning her husband and complains to Allah…”.
   This verse shows that Allah hears even the private complaints and concerns of believers. It emphasizes His attribute of being All-Hearing (As-Sami‘).

   
   


2. 
   

   Surah Al-Mumtahanah (60:10) – “Qad ya‘lamu Allahu…”
   Translation: “Indeed Allah knows those among you who believe and those who disbelieve…”.
   This Surah highlights that Allah’s knowledge encompasses everything, including the hidden reality of people’s faith. It reminds believers that sincerity of iman (faith) is known only to Allah.

   
   

These Surahs underline two important aspects of divine attributes:

• 
  

  Allah’s Hearing: Nothing is hidden from Him, not even the quietest words or the most secret disputes.

  
  


• 
  

  Allah’s Knowledge: He fully knows the truth of belief and hypocrisy in people’s hearts.

  
  

The use of ‘Qad’ in these Surahs is a linguistic emphasis, stressing that what follows is absolutely certain and undeniable. This also reflects the Qur’an’s eloquence and its power to assure the believers that Allah’s statements are beyond doubt.

Therefore, the correct answer is that 2 Surahs in the Qur’an begin with the word ‘Qad’.
