QN09
SURAH 9
AT-TAWAB
[9:31] They
take their rabbis and their monks for their lords apart from Allah,31 and also the Messiah, son of Mary, whereas
they were commanded to worship none but the One True God.
There is no god but He. Exalted be He above
those whom they associate with Him in His Divinity
[9:32] They
seek to extinguish the light of Allah by blowing through their mouths; but Allah refuses everything except that He will
perfect His light howsoever the unbelievers might abhor it.
[
[9:33] He it
is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the True Religion that He may make it prevail over all religions,32 howsoever those who associate others with
Allah in His Divinity might detest it.
[9:34] Believers!
Many of the rabbis and monks wrongfully devour mankind's possessions and hinder
people from the Way of Allah.33 And there are those who amass gold and silver and do not spend it
in the Way of Allah. Announce to them the tidings of a painful chastisement
[9:35] on a
Day when they
shall be heated up in the Fire of Hell, and their foreheads and their sides and
their backs shall be branded with it, (and they shall be told): "This is the treasure which you hoarded for
yourselves. Taste, then, the punishment for what you have hoarded."
[9:36] Surely the
reckoning of months, in the sight of Allah, is twelve months,34 laid down in Allah's decree on the day when He created
the heavens and the earth; and out of these months four are sacred. That is the
true ordainment. Do not, therefore, wrong yourselves, with respect to these
months.35 And fight all together against those who
associate others with Allah in His Divinity in the manner that they fight
against you all together,36 and know well that Allah is with
the God-fearing.
34.
This has been mentioned to refute the practice of
nasi (Ayat 37) whereby the pagan Arabs increased the number of the months of a
year to 13 or 14 to enable them to interpose in the calendar the forbidden
month which had been made lawful by them.
35
The four
forbidden months are Zil-Qadah, Zil-Hajjah and Muharram for Hajj and Rajab for
Umrah.
36. That is, “If the mushriks do not desist from
fighting during these months, you should also fight them and present a united
front against them, just as they put up a united front against you”. This verse
has been explained by Ayat 194 of Al-Baqarah
[9:37] The
intercalation (of sacred months) is an act of gross infidelity which causes the
unbelievers to be led further astray. They declare a month to be lawful in one
year and forbidden in another year in order that they may conform to the number
of months that Allah has declared as sacred, and at the same time make lawful
what Allah has forbidden.37 Their foul acts seem fair to
them. Allah does not direct those who deny the Truth to the Right Way.
37.
The pagan Arabs practiced nasi in two ways. Whenever it suited them, they would
declare a prohibited month to be an ordinary month in which fighting, robbery
and murder in retaliation were lawful for them. Then they would declare an
ordinary month to be a prohibited month instead of this month in order to make
up for the deficiency caused in the number of the prohibited months.
The other way of nasi was the addition of a month
in order to harmonize the lunar with the solar year so that the Hajj should
always fall in the same season and they should be saved from the bother and
inconvenience that are experienced by its observance according to the lunar
year. In this way Hajj was observed for 36 years on dates other than the actual
dates. Then in the thirty seventh year it was again observed on the 9th and
10th of Zil-Hajjah, as they should have actually fallen according to the lunar
calendar. It so happened that on the occasion when the Prophet (peace be upon
him) performed Hajja-tul-Widaa (his last Hajj). these dates by rotation
coincided with the actual dates of Hajj according to the lunar calendar. So he
declared during the course of his historic address at Arafat: “This year the
dates of Hajj have again occurred exactly at their natural and proper time
after a long period of circulation.” Accordingly, since that last Hajj of A.H.
9, it is being observed up to this day according to the correct dates of the
lunar year.
By making nasi unlawful and forbidding it, the law
declared that the two objects for which it was practiced were also sinful.
First, they not only made lawful what Allah had made unlawful but also tried to
practice deception on Allah by the seeming observance of the law. As regards
the second object of making the season of Hajj fixed permanently according to
the solar calendar, this too, was in fact the worst kind of rebellion against
the divine law, although it appeared to be a harmless thing done for public
good. But it defeated the very object of the divine law which prescribed the
lunar calendar instead of the solar calendar for the observance of obligatory
duties. Allah did this to ensure many good things for the Muslims, one of which
is that His servants should be so trained as to obey His commandments at all
times of the year and under all circumstances. For instance, the month of
Ramadan circulates among all the seasons of the year and the Muslims get used
to obeying His commandments whether it be summer or winter, dry or rainy
season. This gives them that excellent moral training which is the real object
of all the obligatory duties imposed by the divine law. Likewise, the dates of
Hajj according to the lunar calendar, fall during different seasons: therefore
the servants of Allah have to travel during all the seasons, favorable and
unfavorable. Thus they come out successful in the divine test under all the
circumstances and learn to be steadfast in their obedience.
It is obvious that such a training will make them
stand good in many other fields in which one has to fight the battle for the
truth.
Now it would have become quite clear why nasi was
made unlawful and forbidden. It was designed to fix the season of Hajj in order
to suit their own conveniences though it defeated the divine purpose of Hajj
and of the forbidden months. It meant that they had rebelled against Allah and
become independent of Him; this is kufr. Besides this, Islam is a universal
religion and for all human beings. It is obvious that the periods of fasting
and performing Hajj cannot satisfy all if they be fixed in accordance with the
months of the solar year. For if they are performed in fixed months according
to the solar year, the one and the same month will not equally suit all for the
simple reason that it will fall during the same seasons in different places,
summer or winter or very hot or very cold or rainy or dry or harvesting or
sowing, year after year.
In this connection it may also be kept in view that
the proclamation about the prohibition of nasi was made on the occasion of Hajj
in A.H. 9 and next year the Hajj was performed on right dates which were in
accordance with the lunar year. Since that time Hajj is being performed
according to exa

[9:49] And among them is he who says: "Grant me leave to stay behind, and
do not expose me to temptation."48 Lo!
They have already fallen into temptation.49 Surely
Hell encompasses the unbelievers.50
48.
Some of the hypocrites, who were requesting the Prophet (peace be upon him) to
give them leave to stay behind on one pretext or the other, were so impudent
that they were inventing excuses of a religious or moral nature for refraining
from Jihad in the Way of Allah. One of these was Jad-bin-Qais, who, according
to traditions came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said. “I am a lover
of beauty and my people know that I am very weak in regard to women: therefore
I am afraid to go forth lest the beauty of the Roman women should beguile me
into sin. Therefore, “do not put me into trial.”
MUNJIYAT
[9:51] Say:
"Nothing will befall us except what Allah has decreed for us; He is our
Protector." Let the believers, then, put all their trust in Allah
[9:55] Let neither
their riches nor their children excite your admiration. Allah only wants to
chastise them through these things in the present life,54 and to cause them to die while they are
unbelievers.55
54.
“Allah only intends to punish them through them in the life of the world”,
because of their great love for their children and wealth as these misled them
to adopt the hypocritical attitude which, in turn, degraded them in the Muslim
society. Consequently, in the Islamic system they would lose the respect, tire
reputation and the prestige they enjoyed in the pre-lslamic society. On the
contrary, even the Muslim slaves and the sons of slaves, the farmers and the
shepherds, who proved the sincerity of their faith would win honor in the new
system, and the big hereditary chiefs, who refrained from this because of their
love of the world, would lose their fame, honor and prestige.
BLOG
In order to illustrate the above, we cite an
incident that happened during the caliphate of Umar (may Allah be pleased with
him). Once some big chiefs of the Quraish including Suhail-bin-Amr and
Harith-bin-Hisham, went to see caliph Umar and took their seats near him. Soon
after this some humble people from among the Muhajirin and the Ansar came
there. The caliph asked those chiefs to make room for them, and seated these
humble people near his own seat. This went on for some time till these chiefs
reached the remotest corner in the assembly. When they came out,
Harith-bin-Hisham said to his companions, “You have noticed what a humiliating
treatment has been meted out to us today!” Suhail-bin-Amr replied, “It is no
fault of Umar but it is our own fault. When we were invited to Islam, we turned
away from it, but these humble people accepted it and made sacrifices for it.”
Then both of them returned to the meeting and said, “Today we have noticed your
treatment and we feel that it is all due to our own shortcomings, but tell us
if there is a way for us to make atonements for our past failures”. The caliph
did not give any reply but merely pointed towards the Roman territory, which
meant that the only way of regaining their prestige was to expend their lives
and wealth in doing Jihad there.
55. “Their souls shall pass away while they are
disbelievers” because of their hypocrisy, which would not let them attain
sincere faith till they die. Thus after ruining their moral and spiritual lives
in this world, they would leave it in the state of unbelief, which will ruin
their lives in the Hereafter in a far worse way.

Sherfuddin P
[9:70] Have they not
heard the accounts of those who came before them77 -
of the people of Noah and 'Ad and Thamud, and the people of Abraham and the
dwellers of Madyan (Midian), and the cities that were overturned?78 Their Messengers came to them with Clear
Signs. Then, it was not Allah Who caused them any wrong;
they
rather wronged themselves.79
.
79. “They used to wrong themselves” for they were
themselves responsible for their destruction. Allah had no enmity with them and
had no desire to destroy them. As a matter of fact, they themselves adopted the
way of life that led to destruction, whereas
Allah had sent His Messengers to them and afforded
them the opportunities of thinking, understanding, and reforming. His Messengers admonished and warned
them of the consequences of treading wrong paths, and presented very clearly
before them the way that leads to success, and also the ways that lead to
destruction. But when they did not benefit from the opportunities that were
offered to them to mend their ways, and persisted in treading the ways that led
to destruction, they inevitably met with the end for which they were heading.
And this horrible end was not due to Allah’s will to be unjust to them but due
to their own evil doings."
[9:71] The believers, both men and women, are allies of one another. They enjoin good, forbid evil, establish
Prayer, pay Zakah, and obey Allah and His Messenger.80 Surely Allah will show mercy to them. Allah is
All-Mighty, All-Wise.
[9:72] Allah has promised the
believing men and believing women Gardens
beneath which rivers flow. They shall abide in it. There are delightful
dwelling places for them in the Gardens of Eternity. They shall, above all,
enjoy the good pleasure of Allah. That is the great achievement.

[9:74] They swear by
Allah that they said nothing blasphemous whereas they indeed blasphemed,83 and fell into unbelief after
believing, and also had
evil designs which they could not carry into effect.84 They are spiteful against Muslims for no
other reason than that Allah and His Messenger have enriched them through His
bounty!85 So, if they repent, it will be to their own
good. But if they turn away, Allah
will sternly punish them in this world and in the Hereafter. None in the world will be able to
protect or help them.

of disbelief BLOG
83.
We cannot say with certainty what that “word of disbelief” was which they had
uttered. There are, however, traditions that mention several things of unbelief
which were uttered by the hypocrites during that time. For instance, it is
related that a hypocrite, while he was talking to a young Muslim, a near
relative of his, said, “If all that this man, referring to the Prophet (peace
be upon him), is saying be true, then we are worse than donkeys.” Another
tradition relates that when, during the expedition to Tabuk, one of the
she-camels of the Prophet (peace be upon him) went astray and the Muslims were
moving about in search of it, a party of the hypocrites made a good deal of fun
of this, saying to one another, “Just consider the prophethood of this man. He
tells news of heavens but cannot tell where his she-camel is.”
84. This is a reference to the plots which the
hypocrites had made during the Tabuk expedition. On the return journey they
conspired to push the Prophet (peace be upon him) down into some ravine, while
he would be passing over some hill at night. The Prophet (peace be upon him)
got wind of the plot and ordered that the army should take the longer route
through the valley round the hills, while he himself along with Ammar bin Yasir
and Huzaifah bin- Yaman would make the short route over the hill. While they
were on the way, suddenly they discovered that a dozen of the hypocrites, with
covered faces, were following them. At this Huzaifah (may Allah be pleased with
him) turned towards them so that he may drive away their camels but they were
terrified when they saw him coming towards them and took to flight lest they
should be recognized.
The other plot was to declare Abdullah bin Ubayy as
king at Al-Madinah as soon as they should hear some bad news about the Muslim
army, because according to their expectations, the Prophet (peace be upon him)
and his faithful companions could never fare well against the armies of the
great Roman Empire.
85. This is an insinuation to put to shame by an
indirect suggestion the hypocrites of Al-Madinah. This refereed to the
prosperity of Al-Madinah and its peoples, for Al- Madinah was a small town
before the migration of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to it, and its two
clans Aus and Khazraj did not hold any high position in regards to wealth or
prestige. But within the short period of nine years or so, this small town
became the capital of Arabia because of the residence of the Prophet (peace be
upon him), and the sacrifices of the Ansar, the true Muslims. As a result of
which, the former peasants Aus and Khazraj of Al- Madinah became the great ones
of the Islamic state, and wealth began to flow into this central city on
account of spoils of war and increased commercial activity. The hypocrites were
rebuked in this verse that, instead of being grateful to the Prophet (peace be
upon him), they showed anger and spite against him for no other reason than
that he had brought forth prosperity among them.
[9:75] Some of them
made a covenant with Allah: "If
Allah gives us out of His bounty, we will give alms and act righteously."
[9:76] Then, when He gave them out of His
bounty, they grew niggardly and turned their backs (upon their covenant).
26122020
[9:81] Those who were allowed to stay behind rejoiced at
remaining behind and not accompanying the Messenger of Allah. They were averse
to striving in the Way of Allah with their belongings and their lives and told
others: "Do not go forth in this fierce heat." Tell them: "The Hell is far fiercer in heat." Would that they understand!
[9:84] Do not ever pray over any of them who
dies, nor stand over his grave. They disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died in iniquity.

Janasa prayer for didbelievers BLOG
This verse was sent down to prevent the Prophet (peace
be upon him) from saying funeral prayers for Abdullah bin Ubayy, the ringleader of the hypocrites, who died a
short while after the Tabuk expedition. His son Abdullah who was a sincere
Muslim called on the Prophet (peace be upon him) and requested him to give his
shirt for his father’s shroud. The Prophet (peace be upon him) very generously
granted his request. Then he begged the Prophet (peace be upon him) to lead his
father’s funeral prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) agreed to this also
but Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) very respectfully requested him repeatedly
not to do so, saying, “O Prophet of Allah! will you say funeral prayer for a
person who was guilty of such and such crimes and sins.” The Prophet (peace be
upon him), who was a blessing both for friends and for foes, got ready to say
funeral prayer even for that man who was a deadly enemy of Islam. At last when
he stood up to lead the funeral prayer, this verse was sent down to prevent him
from this by a direct command from God, in accordance with the changed policy
declared in Ayat 73 which forbade to do anything that might encourage the
hypocrites among the Muslims.
08012021fri BLOG
The above incident led to the formulation of the
regulation that the leaders and prominent people from among the Muslims should
neither lead, nor offer the funeral prayers of the sinners against Islam, or
for those notorious for their disobedience to Islam. After this, whenever a
request was made to the Prophet (peace be upon him) for a funeral prayer, he
would first inquire about the conduct of the deceased person. If he came to
know that he was a bad person, he would say to his people, “You may perform his
burial just as you like”

[9:107] Then there
are others who have set up a mosque to hurt the
True Faith, to promote unbelief, and cause division among believers, and as an ambush for one who had earlier made war on Allah and
His Messenger. They will surely
swear: "We intended nothing but good," whereas Allah bears witness
that they are liars.
[9:108] Never stand therein. Surely a mosque founded from the
first day on piety is more worthy that you should stand in it for Prayer. In it
are people who love to purify themselves, and Allah loves those that purify
themselves.102

constantly turn to Allah in repentance,108 who
constantly worship Him, who celebrate His praise, who go about the world to
serve His cause,109 who bow down to Him, who

evil, and who keep the limits set by Allah.110 Announce

The Arabic word atta-i-bun literally means “those who repent”. But in the
context it occurs it implies “those
who possess repentance as their permanent characteristic”, that is, they repent
over and over again.
Moreover, the literal meaning of taubah
is “to turn to” or “to turn back”. Therefore its explanatory translation will
be “those who turn back to Allah over and over again”. This is the first and
foremost characteristic of a true believer because even a true believer is
liable to forget the bargain he makes with Allah by which he sells his life and
property to Him.

[9:114] And
Abraham's prayer for the forgiveness of his father was only because of a
promise which he had made to him.112 Then, when it became clear to him that he
was an enemy of Allah, he dissociated himself from him. Surely Abraham was most tender-hearted, God-fearing,
forbearing
113. The words
awwah and
haleem which the Quran uses for Prophet Abraham (peace
be upon him) are very comprehensive in meaning. Awwah is the one who is
lamenting, humble, weeping, grief-stricken and God fearing. And haleem is the
one who can keep control over himself under all circumstances, and is neither
beside himself in anger and enmity nor transgresses the proper limits in his
affections, friendships, and relationships. Here both the words have been used
in their comprehensive senses
[9:118] And He
also relented towards the
three whose cases had been deferred.118 When the
earth, for all its spaciousness, became constrained to them, and their own
beings became a burden to them, and they realized that there was no refuge for
them from Allah except in Him; He relented towards them that they may turn back
to Him. Surely, it is Allah Who is Much Forgiving, Ever Merciful.119

[9:122] It was not necessary for the believers to go forth
all together (to receive religious instruction), but why did not a party of
them go forth that they may grow in religious understanding, and that they may
warn their people when they return to them, so that they may avoid (erroneous attitudes)?
See EN lengthy BLOG
It is not possible to recount here all the
damages that the Muslim community has suffered because of this
misunderstanding, but suffice it to say that this is the thing, which is
responsible for reducing the religious education of the Muslims to the
knowledge and interpretation of the external form of Islam without paying any
attention to the spirit of Islam. This inevitably resulted in making lifeless
formalism the ultimate goal of the life of the Muslims.
