Book: The Qurʾān
Chapter: 9 Repentance ۞ Al-Tawba
Blurb:
This sūra deals with various matters connected with struggling for the cause of God. It opens with a
renunciation of all treaty obligations with the ‘idolaters.’ This is followed by a short exhortation to fight
against the ‘People of the Book.’ Then comes a sustained diatribe against the ‘hypocrites’ and others for
their refusal to fight alongside the Prophet. It concludes by emphasizing again the duty to struggle for
the cause.
