At-Taubah Part 10 خَلِينَ فِيَهَا أَبَدًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ◌َأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُوْءَابَآءَ كُمْ وَإِخْوَتَكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ إِنِ اسْتَحَبُّواْالْكُفْرَ عَلَى الْإِيمَنِ، وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنَكُمْ فَأُوْلَكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ قُلْ إِن كَانَ ءَابَآؤُّكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَنُكُمْ وَأَزْوَجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَلُّ أَقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتَجَرَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَ مَسَكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَا أَحَتَّ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ، فَتَرَبَّصُواْ حَتَّى يَأْتِى اللّه ◌ِأَمْيِّوَ اللّهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْفَسِقِينَ لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِى مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيرَةٍ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ إِذْأَعْجَبَتُكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَتُغْنِ عَنَكُمْ شَيْئًا وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ اُلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُمْ مُدْبِينَ ( ٢٥ ثُمَّ اللّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ، وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَنزَلَ جُنُودًا لَّوْتَرَوْهَا وَعَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَذَلِكَ جَزَّاءُ اُلْكَفِینَ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَن يَشَاءُ وَاَللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ٢٧ يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَءَامَنُواْإِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسُ فَلَا يَقْرَبُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَذَّأْ وَ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيَكُمُ اللَّهُ 22. They will dwell therein forever. Verily, with Allâh is a great reward. 23. O you who believe! Take not as Auliya' (supporters and helpers) your fathers and your brothers if they prefer disbelief to Belief. And whoever of you does so, then he is one of the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers). 24. Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight are dearer to you than Allâh and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause, 1then wait until Allâh brings about His Decision (torment). And Allâh guides not the people who are Al-Fâsiqûn (the rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). 25. Truly Allâh has given you victory on many battlefields, and on the Day of Hunain (battle) when you rejoiced at your great number, but it availed you naught and the earth, vast as it is, was straitened for you, then you turned back in flight. 26. Then Allah did send down His Sakînah (calmness, tranquillity and reassurance) on the Messenger (Muhammad and on the believers, and ,(صلى الله عليه وسلم sent down forces (angels) which you saw not, and punished the disbelievers. Such is the recompense of disbelievers. 27. Then after that Allâh will accept the repentance of whom He wills. And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 28. O you who believe (in Allâh's Oneness and in His Messenger Muhammad Verily, the Mushrikun!(صلى الله عليه وسلم (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, and in the Message of (V.9:24): See the footnote of (V.2:190). [1] سورة التوبة ٩ الجزء ١٠ 248 Sûrah 9. At-Taubah Part 10 مِن فَضْلِهِ: إِن شَآءَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيهُ حَكِيمٌ به Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are Najasun (impure).[1] So let them not come near Al-Masjidal-Harâm (at Makkah) after this year; and if you fear poverty, Allâh will enrich you if He wills, out of His Bounty. Surely, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise. 29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His (4) (صلى الله عليه وسلم Messenger (Muhammad and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah12 with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. 30. And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths, resembling the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime. Allah's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth![3] 31. They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allâh (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allâh), and (they also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] to worship none but One Ilâh (God - Allâh) Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the قَائِلُواْ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا بِالْيَّوْمِ اُلْآَخِرِ وَلَا يُحِّمُونَ مَا حَزَّمَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ. وَلَ يَدِيْنُونَ دِينَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَبَ حَتَّى يُعْطُواْ الْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدِ وَهُمْ صَغِرُونَ وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ أَبْنُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَرَى الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللَّهِّ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَهِهِمٌ يُضَهِئُونَ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَبْلُ قَثَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ اتَّخَذُوَأْأَخْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَنَهُمْ أَزْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوْا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا إِلَهَا وَحِدًا لَّ إِلَهَ إِلَّ هُوَّ سُبْحَنَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ [1] (V.9:28) Their impurity is spiritual and physical: spiritual, because they don't believe in Allah's Oneness and in His Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ;and physical, because they lack personal hygiene (filthy as regards urine, stools and blood). And the word Najas is used only for those persons who have spiritual impurity e.g. Al-Mushrikûn. [2] (V.9:29) a) See the footnote of (V.2:193) b) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The Hour will not be established untill you fight against the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him' " (Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadith No. 177) c) Jizyah: a tax levied from the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians), who are under the protection of a Muslim government.

At-Taubah right to be worshipped but He) 1. Praise and glory be to Him (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)." 32. They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allah's صلى الله عليه Light (with which Muhammad , has been sent - Islamic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allâh will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kâfirûn (disbelievers) hate (it). 33. It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it). 34. O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the Way of Allah (i.e. Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism). And those who hoard up gold and silver [Al-Kanz: the money, the Zakât of which has not been paid] and spend them not in the Way of Allâh, announce unto them a painful torment. 35. On the Day when that (Al-Kanz: money, gold and silver the Zakat of which has not been paid) will be heated in the Fire of Hell and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, (and it will be said unto them): "This is the treasure which you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste of what you used to hoard."[2] يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَهِهِمْ وَيَأْبِىَ اللهُإِلَّ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُوَلَوْكَرِهَ اُلْكَفِرُونَ هُوَ أَلَّذِى أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ پِالْهُدَى وَدِینِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ، وَلَوْكَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْأَحْبَارِ وَالرُّهْبَانِ لَيَأْ كُلُونَ أَمْوَلَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ يَكْفِرُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَةَ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَهَا فِ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَبَشِّرُهُم ٣٤ بِعَذَاپ آلیٍ يَوْمَ يُحْمَى عَلَيْهَافِنَارِجَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوَى بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوبُهُمْ وَتُظُهُورُهُمَّ هَذَامَا ڪَرْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ قَذُوقُواْمَاكُمْ ٣٥ تَكِْزُونَ [1] (V.9:31) Once while Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was reciting this Verse, 'Adi bin Hâtim said, "O Allâh's Messenger! They do not worship them (i.e.the rabbis and monks)." Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "They certainly do. [They (i.e. the rabbis and monks) made lawful things as unlawful and unlawful things as lawful, and they (i.e. Jews and Christians) followed them; and by doing so, they really worshipped them]." (Narrated by Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi, and Ibn Jarir). [2] (V.9:35) See the footnote of (V.3:180). سورة التوبة ٩ الجزء ١٠ 250 Sûrah 9. At-Taubah Part 10 إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي كِتَبِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَتِ وَاْأَرْضَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ اَلْقَيِّمُ فَلَا تَظْلِمُواْ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَقَئِلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَفَّةٌ كَمَا يُقَنِلُونَكُمْ كَافَّةً وَأَعْلَمُوا أَنَّاللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُنَّقِينَ إِنَّمَا النَّسِىُّ زِيَادَةٌ فِى الْكُفْرِيُضَلُبِهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُحِلُّونَهُ عَامًا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُ عَامًا لِيُوَا ◌ِئُواْ عِدَةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فَيُحِلُواْ مَا حَزَّمَ اللَّهُ زُيِنَ لَهُرْ سُوَهُ أَعْمَلِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْكَفِينَ ٣٧ يَتَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَءَامَنُواْمَا لَكُمْ إِذَاقِيلَ لَكُرُ آنِفِرُ واْ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَنَّا قَلْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُم بِالْحَيَوْةِ الدُّنْيَامِنَ الْآخِرَةِّ فَمَا مَتَعُ الْحَيَوْةِ الدُّنْيَا فِ اْلْآَخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلُ ٣٨ إِلَّاتَفِرُ وايُعَذِّ بْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْئاً وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْ ءٍ قَدِيرٌ إِلَّا نَصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِذْأَ خْرَجَهُ 36. Verily, the number of months with Allâh is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight against the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) collectively[1] as they fight against you collectively. But know that Allâh is with those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2). 37. The postponing (of a Sacred Month) is indeed an addition to disbelief: thereby the disbelievers are led astray, for they make it lawful one year and forbid it another year in order to adjust the number of months forbidden by Allâh, and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their deeds is made fair-seeming to them. And Allâh guides not the people who disbelieve. 38. O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allâh (i.e. Jihad) you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared to the Hereafter. [2] 39. If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people; and you cannot harm Him at all, and Allâh is Able to do all things. صلى الله عليه If you help him (Muhammad .40 ) not (it does not matter), for Allâh did indeed [1] (V.9:36) See the footnotes of (V. 2:193) and (V.8:73). [2] (V. 9:38) Narrated Anas bin Malik رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter) would wish to come back to this world, even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in it except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom would like to come back to the world and get killed again (in Allâh's Cause)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadîth No.53-A). سورة التوبة ٩ الجزء ١٠ 251 Part 10 Sûrah 9. At-Taubah الَّذِينَ كَفَرُ واْثَانِىَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْهُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَحِبِهِ، لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا فَأَنزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ, عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ السُّفْلَى وَكَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِى الْعُلْيَأْ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ آنِفِرُ واْخِفَافًا وَثِقَالََّ وَجَهِدُ واْبِأَ مَوَلِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ فِ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِنَكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ) لَوْكَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِيَبًا وَسَفَرًا فَاصِدًا لََّتَبَعُوَ وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُ وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ لَوٍ أَسْتَطَعْنَا لَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ يُهْلِكُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَذِبُونَ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنكَ لِمَ أَذِنتَ لَهُمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَّنَ لَّكَ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَتَعْلَمَ اُلْكَذِبِينَ ٤٣ لَا يَسْتَعْذِنُكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ اَلْآَخِرِ أَنْ يُجَهِدُ وابِأَمْوَ لِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالْمُنَّقِينَ إِنَّمَايَسْتَئْذِتُكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَّوْمِ اُلْآَخِ وَأَرْتَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَهُمْ ٤٥ help him when the disbelievers drove him out, the second of the two; when they (Muhammad Le were in the (رضى الله عنه and Abu Bakr الله عليه وسلم cave, he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said to his companion (Abu Bakr رضى الله عنه) :"Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allâh is with us." Then Allâh sent down His Sakînah (calmness, tranquillity, peace) upon him, and strengthened him with forces (angels) which you saw not, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowermost, while the Word of Allâh that became the uppermost; and Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. 41. March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor), and strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allâh. This is better for you, if you but knew. 42. Had it been a near gain (booty in front of them) and an easy journey, they would have followed you, but the distance (Tabuk expedition) was long for them; and they would swear by Allâh, "If we only could, we would certainly have come forth with you." They destroy their ownselves, and Allâh knows that they are liars. 43. May Allâh forgive you (O Muhammad Why did you grant them .(صلى الله عليه وسلم leave (for remaining behind; you should have persisted as regards your order to them to proceed on Jihad), until those who told the truth were seen by you in a clear light, and you had known the liars? 44. Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day would not ask your leave to be exempted from fighting with their properties and their lives; and Allah is the All-Knower of Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2). 45. It is only those who believe not in Allâh and the Last Day and whose hearts are in doubt that ask your leave (to be exempted from Jihad). So in their doubts they waver. سورة التوبة ٩ الجزء ١٠ 252 Surah 9. At-Taubah Part 10 ﴿ وَلَوْ أَرَادُواْالْخُرُوجَ لَأَعَدُّوا لَهُ عُدَّةً وَلَكِنْ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ أَنْبِعَائَهُمْ فَشَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِيلَ أَقْعُدُ واْ مَعَ الْقَعِدِينَ لَوْ خَرَ جُواْفِيكُمْ مَا زَادُوكُمْ إِلَّا خَبَالًا وَلَأَوْضَعُواْ خِلَلَكُمْ يَبْغُونَكُمُ اٌلْفِتْنَةَ وَفِيَكُمْ سَمَّعُونَ لَهُمْ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالَّالِمِينَ ٤٧ لَقَدٍ أَبْتَغَوْ اَلْفِتْنَةَ مِن قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُوا لَكَ اُلْأُمُورَ حَتَّى جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ أَمْرُ اَللَّهِوَهُمْ كَرِهُونَ LA وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ أَثْذَنِ وَلَا نَفْتِنِّ أَا فِى الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُواْ وَ إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌ بِالْكَفِينَ إِن تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمٌ وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُواْقَدْأَ خَذْنَا أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّواْوَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ قُل لَّنْ يُصِيبَنَّا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُلَنَاهُوَ مَوْلَمُنَأْ وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَ كَّلِ 01 الْمُؤْمِنُونَ قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَآ إِلَّ إِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِّ وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ أَنْ يُصِيبَكُللَّهُ بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ عِندِهِ، أَوْيَأَيْدِينَاً فَتَرَبَّصُواْ إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُتَرَبِّصُونَ of 46. And if they had intended to march out, certainly, they would have made some preparation for it; but Allâh was averse to their being sent forth, so He made them lag behind, and it was said (to them), "Sit you among those who sit (at home)." 47. Had they marched out with you, they would have added to you nothing except disorder, and they would have hurried about in your midst (spreading corruption) and sowing sedition among you - and there are some among you who would have listened to them. And Allah is the All-Knower of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers). 48. Verily, they had plotted sedition before, and had upset matters for you, until the truth (victory) came and the Decree of Allâh (His religion, Islâm) became manifest though they hated it. 49. And among them is he who says:"Grant me leave (to be exempted from Jihâd) and put me not into trial." Surely, they have fallen into trial. And verily, Hell is surrounding the disbelievers. 50. If good befalls you (O Muhammad it grieves them, but if a ,(صلى الله عليه وسلم calamity overtakes you, they say: "We took our precaution beforehand" and they turn away rejoicing. 51. Say: "Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allâh has ordained for us.[1] He is our Maulâ (Lord, Helper and Protector)." And in Allâh let the believers put their trust. 52. Say: "Do you wait for us (anything) except one of the two best things (martyrdom or victory); while we await for you either that Allâh will afflict you with a punishment from Himself or at our hands. So wait, we too are waiting with you." [1] (V.9:51) See the footnote of (V.57:22). سورة التوبة ٩ الجزء ١٠ 253 Sûrah 9. At-Taubah Part 10 قُلْ أَنفِقُواْ طَوْمًا أَوْكَرْهًا لَّنْ يُنَقَبَّلَ مِنْكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ ككُنتُمْ قَوْمًا فَسِقِينَ ٥٣ وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَتُهُمْ إِلَّ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ، وَلَا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَوةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالَى وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ إِلَّاوَهُمْ كَرِهُونَ فَلَ تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَلُهُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَدُ هُمَّ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِى الْحَيَوَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَفِرُونَ وَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ وَمَا هُمْ مِّنْكُ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ 07 لَوْيَجِدُونَ مَلْجَنَّا أَوْ مَغَرَاتٍ أَوْ مُدَّخَلًا لَّوَلَّوْا إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَن يَلْمِزُكَ فِ الصَّدَقَتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُواْمِنْهَا رَضُواْ وَ إِن لَّمْ يُعْطَوْ مِنْهَا إِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ DA وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُواْ مَآءَاتَنُهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ. 53. Say: "Spend (in Allâh's Cause) willingly or unwillingly, it will not be accepted from you. Verily, you are ever a people who are Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh)." 54. And nothing prevents their contributions from being accepted from them except that they disbelieved in Allâh and in His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and that they came not to As-Salât (the prayer) except in a lazy state," and that they offer not contributions but unwillingly. 55. So let not their wealth nor their children صلى الله عليه amaze you (O Muhammad (); in reality Allâh's Plan is to punish them with these things in the life of this world, and that their souls shall depart (die) while they are disbelievers. 56. They swear by Allah that they are truly of you while they are not of you, but they are a people (hypocrites) who are afraid (that you may kill them). 57. Should they find a refuge, or caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto with a swift rush. 58. And of them are some who accuse you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) in the matter of (the distribution of) the alms. If they are given part thereof, they are pleased, but if they are not given thereof, behold! They are enraged! [2] 59. Would that they were contented with what Allah and His Messenger ( [1] (V.9:54) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "No Salat (prayer) is more heavy (harder) for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the 'Isha prayer; but if they knew the reward for these Salat (prayers) at their respective times, they would certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to crawl." The Prophet L. (added, "Certainly, I intended (or was about) to order the Mu'adhdhin (call-maker الله عليه وسلم to pronounce Iqamah and order a man to lead the Salât (prayer), and then take a fire flame to burn all those (men along with their houses) who had not yet left their houses for the Salât (prayer) (in the mosques)."

As-Sadaqât (here it means Zakât) are only for the Fuqarâ' (poor), and Al-Masakin1 (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds), and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islâm), and to free the captives, and for those in debt, and for Allâh's Cause (i.e. for Mujahidun - those fighting in a holy battle), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allâh.

Say: "He listens to what is best for you; he believes in Allâh, has faith in the believers, and is a mercy to those of you who believe." But those who annoy Allah's Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) will have a painful torment. [See V.33:57] 62. They swear by Allâh to you (Muslims) in order to please you, but it is more fitting that they should please Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), if they are believers. 63. Know they not that whoever opposes and shows hostility to Allah (عز وجل) and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم), certainly for him will be the Fire of Hell to abide therein. That is the extreme disgrace. 64. The hypocrites fear lest a Surah (chapter of the Qur'an) should be revealed about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say: "(Go ahead and) mock!

And of them are some who made a covenant with Allâh (saying): "If He bestowed on us of His Bounty, we will verily give Sadaqâh (Zakât and voluntary charity in Allâh's Cause) and will be certainly among those who are righteous." 76. Then when He gave them of His Bounty, they became niggardly [refused to pay the Sadaqâh (Zakât or voluntary charity)], and turned away, averse. 77. So He punished them by putting hypocrisy into their hearts till the Day whereon they shall meet Him, because they broke that (covenant with Allâh) which they had promised to Him and because they used to tell lies. 78. Know they not that Allah knows their secret ideas, and their Najwa1 (secret counsels), and that Allâh is the All-Knower of things unseen. 79.

So, the Prophet carried out the expedition and when he reached that town at the time or nearly at the time of the 'Asr prayer, he said to the sun, 'O sun! You are under Allah's Order and I am under Allah's Order. O Allah! Stop it (i.e. the sun) from setting.' It was stopped till Allah made him victorious. Then he collected the booty and the fire came to burn it, but it did not burn it. He said (to his men), 'Some of you have stolen something from the booty. So one man from every tribe should give me a Bai'a (pledge) by shaking hands with me.' (They did so and) the hand of a man got stuck in the hand of their Prophet. Then that Prophet said (to the man), 'The theft has been committed by your people. So all the persons of your tribe should give me the Bai'a (pledge) by shaking hands with me.' The hands of two or three men got stuck in the hand of their Prophet and he said, 'You have committed the theft.' Then they brought a head of gold like the head of a cow and put it there, and the fire came and consumed the booty. The Prophet added: "Then Allah saw our weakness and disability, so He made صلى الله عليه وسلم booty legal for us." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 353). * Booty used to be burnt by a fire sent by Allâh. سورة التوبة ٩ الجزء ١١ Part 11 261 Sûrah 9.

They (the hypocrites) will present their excuses to you (Muslims), when you صلى الله عليه return to them. Say (O Muhammad ,) "Present no excuses, we shall not believe you. Allâh has already informed us of the news concerning you. Allâh and His Messenger will observe your deeds. In the end you will be brought back to the All- Knower of the unseen and the seen, then He (Allâh) will inform you of what you used to do." [Tafsir At-Tabari] 95. They will swear by Allâh to you (Muslims) when you return to them, that you may turn away from them. So turn away from them. Surely, they are Rijs [i.e. Najas (impure) because of their evil deeds], and Hell is their dwelling place - a recompense for that which they used to earn. 96. They (the hypocrites) swear to you (Muslims) that you may be pleased with them, but if you are pleased with them, certainly Allâh is not pleased with the people who are Al-Fâsiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). 97. The bedouins are the worst in disbelief and hypocrisy, and more likely to be in ignorance of the limits (Allâh's Commandments and His Laws ) which Allâh has revealed to His Messenger. And Allâh is All-Knower, All-Wise. 98. And of the bedouins there are some who look upon what they spend (in Allah's Cause) as a fine and watch for calamities for you, on them be the calamity of evil. And Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower. 99. And of the bedouins there are some who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and look upon what they spend in Allah's Cause as means of nearness to Allah, and a cause of receiving the Messenger's invocations. Indeed these (spendings in Allâh's Cause) are a means of nearness for them. Allah will سورة التوبة ٩ الجزء ١١ 262 Part 11 Sûrah 9.

And among the bedouins around you, some are hypocrites, and so are some among the people of Al-Madinah who persist in (صلى الله عليه وسلم hypocrisy; you (O Muhammad know them not, We know them. We shall punish them twice, and thereafter they shall be brought back to a great (horrible) torment. 102. And (there are) others who have acknowledged their sins, they have mixed a deed that was righteous with another that was evil. Perhaps Allâh will turn unto them in forgiveness. Surely, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.[1] 103. Take Sadaqah (alms) from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it, and invoke Allah for them. Verily!

There, we met men who, (by) half of their bodies looked like the most handsome human beings you have ever seen, and (by) the other half, the ugliest human beings you have ever seen. Those two visitors said to those men: 'Go and dip yourselves in that river.' So they dipped themselves therein and then came to us, their ugliness having disappeared and they were in the most handsome shape. The visitors said, 'This is the 'Adn Paradise, and that is your dwelling place.' Then they added, 'As for those people who were half ugly and half handsome, they were those who have mixed deeds that were good with deeds that were evil, but Allah forgave them.'

Know they not that Allâh accepts repentance from His slaves and takes the Sadaqat (alms, charity), and that Allâh Alone is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful? صلى الله عليه And say (O Muhammad .105 ,) "Do deeds! Allah will see your deeds, and (so will) His Messenger and the believers. And you will be brought back to the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. Then He will inform you of what you used to do." 106. And others are made to await for Allâh's Decree, whether He will punish them or will forgive them. And Allâh is All- Knowing, All-Wise. 107. And as for those who put up a mosque by way of harm and disbelief and to disunite the believers and as an outpost for those who warred against Allâh and His (صلى الله عليه وسلم Messenger (Muhammad aforetime, they will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good. Allâh bears witness that they are certainly liars. 108. Never stand you therein. Verily, the mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety is more worthy that you stand therein (to pray). In it are men who love to clean and to purify themselves. And Allâh loves those who make themselves clean and pure [i.e. who clean their private parts with dust (which has the properties of soap) and water from urine and stools, after answering the call of nature]. 109. Is it then he who laid the foundation of his building on piety to Allâh and His Good Pleasure better, or he who laid the foundation of his building on the brink of an undetermined precipice ready to crumble down, so that it crumbled to pieces with him into the Fire of Hell.

The building which they built will never cease to be a cause of hypocrisy and doubt in their hearts unless their hearts are cut to pieces. (i.e. till they die). And Allâh is All- Knowing, All-Wise. 111. Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties for (the price) that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success.[1] 112. (The believers whose lives Allâh has purchased are) those who turn to Allâh in repentance (from polytheism and hypocrisy, etc.), who worship (Him), who praise (Him), who fast (or go out in Allah's Cause), who bow down (in prayer), who prostrate themselves (in prayer), who enjoin (on people) Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all what Islâm has ordained) and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, لَا يَزَالُ بُنْيَشُهُمُ الَّذِى بَوْرِيبَةٌ فِ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَّا أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمُ ﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةٌ يُقَتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْنَلُونٌَ وَعْدَّا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِى الَّوْرَنَةِ وَالْإِنِيلِ وَالْقُرْءَانِ وَمَنْ أَوْفَى بِعَهْدِهِ، مِنَ اللَّهِ فَاسْتَبْشِرُواْ بِبَيْعِكُمُ الَّذِى بَايَعْتُمْ بِهِ، وَذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ اٌلْعَظِيمُ الأ التََّسِبُونَ الْعَبِدُونَ اْحَمِدُونَ السَّبِحُونَ الزَّكِعُونَ السَّجِدُونَ اْأَمِرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّاهُونَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَالْخَفِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ اللَّهِ وَبَشْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ [1] (V.9:111) a) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allah guarantees him who strives in His Cause and whose motivation for going out is nothing but Jihad in His Cause and belief in His Words (Islamic Monotheism), that He will admit him into Paradise (if martyred) or bring him back to his dwelling place whence he has come out with what he gains of reward or booty." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadith No.352). b) Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Luie al (+): On the day of the battle of Uhud, a man came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "Can you tell me where I will be if I should get martyred?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "In Paradise." The man threw away some dates he was carrying in his hand, and fought till he was martyred. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.5, Hadith No.377). c) Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضى الله عنهما :I heard Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: "If you (1) practised Bai' Al-'Inah (the 'Inah transaction i.e. selling goods to a person for a certain price and then buying them back from him for a far less price); (2) and followed the tails of the cows (i.e. indulged in agriculture and became content with it during the period of Jihad); (3) and deserted the Jihad (holy fighting) in Allah's Cause, Allah will cover you with humiliation, and it will not be removed till you return back to your religion." (Abu Dawud, Vol.3, Hadith No.3462). سورة التوبة ٩ الجزء ١١ Part 11 265 Surah 9. At-Taubah polytheism of all kinds and all that Islâm has forbidden), and who observe the limits set by Allâh (do all that Allâh has ordained and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allâh has forbidden). And give glad tidings to the believers.11 113. It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's Forgiveness for the Mushrikun (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh), even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire (because they died in a state of disbelief). 114. And Ibrâhîm's (Abraham) invoking (of Allâh) for his father's forgiveness was only because of a promise he [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] had made to him (his father). But when it became clear to him [Ibrahim (Abraham)] that he (his father) is an enemy of Allâh, he dissociated himself from him. Verily Ibrâhîm (Abraham) was Awwah (one who invokes Allâh with humility, glorifies Him and remembers Him much) and was forbearing. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî)[2] 115. And Allâh will never lead a people astray after He has guided them until He makes clear to them as to what they should avoid. Verily, Allah is the All-Knower of everything.

I guarantee Paradise for him." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, Hadith No. 481) * i.e. whoever protects his tongue from illegal talk e.g., to tell lies, or backbiting, etc., and his mouth from eating and drinking forbidden illegal things, and his private parts from illegal sexual acts.

' (V.9:115) And Ibn 'Umar Luis wIga, used to consider them (the Khawarij and the Mulhidun) the worst of Allah's creatures and said, "These people took some Verses that had been revealed concerning the disbelievers and interpreted them as describing the believers." سورة التوبة ٩ الجزء ١١ Part 11 266 Sûrah 9. At-Taubah 116. Verily, Allâh! Unto Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, He gives life and He causes death. And besides Allâh you have neither any Walî (protector or guardian) nor any helper. 117. Allâh has forgiven the Prophet (. the Muhajirun (Muslim emigrants ,(اللّه عليه وسلم who left their homes and came to Al-Madinah) and the Ansâr (Muslims of Al-Madinah) who followed him (Muhammad in the time of distress (Tabuk (صلى الله عليه وسلم expedition), after the hearts of a party of them had nearly deviated (from the Right Path), but He accepted their repentance. Certainly, He is unto them full of Kindness, Most Merciful. 118. And (He did forgive also) the three [who did not join the Tabuk expedition whose صلى الله عليه case was deferred (by the Prophet ,)] (for Allâh's Decision) till for them the earth, vast as it is, was straitened and their ownselves were straitened to them, and they perceived that there is no fleeing from Allâh, and no refuge but with Him. Then, He forgave them (accepted their repentance), that they might beg for His pardon [repent (unto Him)]. Verily, Allâh is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful. 119.

Be afraid of Allâh, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds).[1] إِنَّالََّلَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَوَتِ وَاْأَرْضِّ يُحِ، وَيُمِيتُ وَمَالَكُمْ مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍ 017 وَلَانَصِيرٍ لَقَد تَّابَ اللهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَالْمُهَجِرِين وَاَلْأَنْصَارِ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ فِ سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا كَادَ يَزِيغُ قُلُوبُ فَرِيقٍ مِّنْهُمْ ثُمَّتَابَ عَلَيْهِمَّ إِنَّهُ بِهِمْرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ IV وَعَلَى الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُواْ حَتَّى إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ اُلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ وَنُواْأَنْ لََّ مَلْجَأَ مِنَ اَللَّهِ إِلَّ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُواْ إِنَّاللَّهَ هُوَ النَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْأَتَّقُواْاللَّهَ وَكُونُواْ 119 مَعَ الصَّدِقِينَ صلى الله عليه regarding Al-Haruriyah: The Prophet رضى الله عنهما Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar , said, "They will go out of Islam as an arrow darts out of the game's body."

And what is forbidden as regards telling of lies. a) Narrated 'Abdullah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Truthfulness leads to Al-Birr (righteousness) and Al-Birr (righteousness) leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fujûr (i.e. wickedness - evil-doing), and Al-Fujûr leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man keeps on telling lies until he is written as a liar before Allâh." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.8, Hadith No.116). b) Narrated Abu Hurarirah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three: Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie; and whenever he promises, he breaks his promise; and whenever he is entrusted, he betrays (proves to be dishonest)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.8, Hadith No.117).
