Amir-Ali places it as the 94th surah, while Hz. Īlthough an-Nisā typically appears as the fourth surah, according to the Nöldeke classification of surahs, based on Islamic traditions, "The Women" was approximately revealed as the hundredth surah. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation ( Asbāb al-nuzūl), it is a Medinan surah as confirmed by Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i, who states that the sura must have been revealed after the hijrah based on the subject matter. Taking the third approach, a holistic approach allows for a feminist reading of the Quran, which is particularly relevant to an-Nisā and can reshape the understanding of this surah. The type of interpretation one applies to surah 4 greatly influences one's perspective on the role of women within Muslim society. In Qur'an and Woman, Amina Wadud places interpretations of the Quran into three categories: traditional, reactive, and holistic. However, Carl Ernst admits that more works needs to be done in this type of structural analysis to more fully understand the composition of such extensive suras. He has come to this conclusion based on examination of the structure of the surah based on such devices as parallels, repetition, and ring composition. He claims that the central theme of this surah is the address to the Christians. Mathias Zahniser presents an alternative means of looking at the structure of this surah. However, based on a study of themes present in each section of the Surah, Amīn Ahsan Islāhī divides the surah into three thematically-based sections: social reform, the Islamic community and its opponents, and a conclusion. The wide variety of issues addressed in the surah and the length of the surah make it difficult to divide into literary structures. Furthermore, in discussing war, this surah encourages the Muslim community to fight for the vulnerable in war, as demonstrated by 4:75: "Why should you not fight in God's cause and for those oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, ‘Lord, rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors! By Your grace, give us a protector and give us a helper!’?" The surah addresses a multitude of issues faced by the early Muslim community and responds to the challenges the community faced.

Thematically, "an-Nisā" not only addresses concerns about women, but also discusses inheritance, marriage laws, how to deal with children and orphans, legal practices, jihād, relations between Muslim communities and People of the Book, war, and the role of Jesus as a prophet, rather than the son of God as Christians claimed. Shirk (refer 4:48 and 4:116) is held to be the worst form of disbelief, and it is identified in the Quran as the only sin that God will not pardon. For example, the section of this surah about dealing fairly with orphan girls (4:2-4) addresses the pre-Islamic Arabic practice of marrying orphan girls to take their property. The surah aims to eradicate the earlier practices of pagan, Arab communities that are no longer considered moral in the Muslim society. It illustrates the Quran's role as an authoritative legal source and its ability to shape the community. This Medinan surah aims at protecting the newly formed Muslim community by outlining acceptable behavior for Muslims.
