Chapter 9

Repentanceal-Tawbah ( التوبة )

129 verses • revealed at Medinan

»The surah that announces for all time that God granted to His prophet, to the Emigrant and Helping Companions, and to three errant believers Repentance; and that offers the same opportunity to the unbelievers and the hypocrites, provided they forever renounce hostility, idolatry, and duplicity; and which further demonstrates the faithfulness of this offer in God’s decree of amnesty for the truly repentant idolaters who fought the believers at a place called Ḥunayn. It is named after “repentance” (tawbah) mentioned in verse 3 and verse 5. The surah opens by giving notice of the severance of the treaty with the idolaters because they had broken it, but the bulk of the surah deals with preparations and recruitment for the expedition to Tabūk (year 9/631). The hypocrites and those who stayed behind and failed to support the Prophet Muḥammad are all censured. This is the only surah not to begin with the formula Basmalah.«

The surah is also known as Dispensation, Immunity

بَراءَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ إِلَى الَّذينَ عاهَدتُم مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

Boh a jeho posol (Muhammad) vás (muslimovia) oprosťujú od tých s ktorými vás viaže sľub (a dohoda o neútočení) a ktorí pochádzajú z radov tých, ktorí k Bohu pridružujú, (Boh a jeho posol Muhammad sa zriekajú dohôd uzavretých s tými, ktorí veriť odmietali a neustále porušovali dohody, ktoré s prorokom Muhammadom uzatvárali. Preto, keď už porušovanie týchto dohôd zo strany tých, ktorí odmietli veriť presahovalo únosné hranice, Boh najvyšší oznamuje, že oslobodzuje proroka Muhammada a muslimov od dohôd, ktoré s nimi predtým uzavreli.)
